As I am driving the brakes start to get more sensitive and then become stiff. The car continues to drive until the brake pedal comes up higher and stiff and then the ESC light comes on and the brakes lock up. If the car sits for 30-60 minutes, then it can be driven with no problem. The last time this occurred I think the back right locked up first.
This issue is difficult and requires some driving to get it to act up. It may happen after 10 miles, or it may require several trips before it happens.
Work done so far by 2 shops:
The initial diagnostic performed was that the front struts needed to be replaced. This was done and, not surprisingly, did not solve the issue. Then although there was no ABS issue on the diagnostics so they suggested that it may be the ABS. I purchased an ABS aftermarket installed it. This did not solve the issue.
Replaced the brake master cylinder. I drove the car for over a week and then the original problem occurred, and the brakes locked up.
