While exiting the Ohio turnpike, my brake pedal began to stop depressing completely- to the point where I couldn't push down at all. It felt like an over-pumped keg. As I continued my exit toward the toll booth, it seemed that the ABS were engaging, but I wasn't in an emergency braking situation. The rest of my journey home was uneventful, until I arrived home. I pulled into my garage, and attempted to back out so I check under the vehicle to make sure there wasn't anything leaking. As I backed out, my brakes would not engage properly again and my car rolled back down my drive way. The car stopped and I parked it where it was. Later in the day, I was able to pull the car into my garage without incident. I took the car to chesrown GMC (the dealership where I purchased the vehicle). They advised they had never heard of such a situation and had me being vehicle to them. I couldn't replicate the issue with them, but left the car with them so they could check it out for issues. They replaced the the brake vacuum pump. Today (7/31/17), the brakes started to behave in the same manner as when they failed on 7/16/17.
