Description of the problem	When driving at 60 mph down the freeway, i hit the brakes hard to avoid a collision with the car in front of me. I decelerated to about 30mph while veering to the right to avoid hitting the other car. To inform the rapidly approaching car behind me, i tapped my brakes about 4-5 times a second to flash my taillights. At that point the brakes locked up and my car rapidly decelerated even though i had removed my foot from the brake pedal. After about 1/3-1/2 second, the brakes released and i was able to regain control of the car and continue driving. After checking online forums and my local ev group, it turns out that two other people have experienced similar braking behavior where the car decelerated rapidly even though the brake pedal was not pressed.
