Brake Question

I own a 2007 V8 Limited - I've had this intermittent problem occurring, which is where I hit a patch of bumpy concrete (while braking), the car digs into the brakes hard, then I lose braking feel, even if I'm standing on the brake. Almost caused an accident last night. Also can happen if I dig into the brakes, let off, then step down hard again - I'll lose pedal feel and stops braking, until the car decides to apply all pressure and brakes hard - or not. Brake master cylinder doesn't seem to be a problem.

Any suggestions would be appreciated. I drive my kids all of the time and this could be dangerous in the wrong conditions.

Both my 4runners have shown this behavior on bad pavement under braking. Be curious what others have experienced.

I've had it where if I hit the brakes harder than usual directly on a patch of concrete that drops a couple inches, where its an unlevel seam, it'll cut the brakes for a split second directly after the landing. If I apply normal brake pressure or only brake hard before or after the unlevel seam it's fine.

My fix; don't brake hard on bumpy concrete.

I'm guessing this is the ABS kicking in because the tire loses traction momentarily when it hits the bumps/dips

ABS does some very weird things when it activates from my experience.
