“I read an article regarding school buses having problems with their brakes, the same is happening with my 94 Dodge caravan le 3.3 when the vehicle is moving slowly usually less than 20mph and I go to brake , they temporarily lose their braking ability for a few seconds as if the ABS kicks in for a few seconds on its own.”
