Description of the problem	When operating the vehicle on a snow covered road, i attempted to stop when the vehicle was traveling about 35 mph. When i pressed my brake pedal down as i was approaching the intersection, the anti-lock brakes did not function. The pedal press was firm, but there was noise that is typically experienced when anti-lock brakes are in use, and it felt like there was initial braking with my application of the brakes, but when the anti-lock brakes should have kicked in, it felt like the car surged ahead and the braking mostly stopped, even though i was pressing down as hard as i could. I traveled about 1/8 mile decelerating from 35 to 0 mph. The next day i described the problem experienced with my spouse, and in our long snow covered driveway, i attempted a stop using the anti-lock brake system and it functioned correctly stopping quickly. With this being the following day, starting the car up the next day may have reset the brake system, but i have now way of knowing. There were no error codes generated.
