Just recently, I had my brakes lock up on me. I accelerated to pass someone going about 25 mph and when went to brake quickly after veering over, the brakes wouldn't work. The car made a bit of whining noise and just kept on going and the brakes would not give. I pulled over and put it in neutral (while it was still going) to stop it and it suddenly went into reverse - with no brakes. Finally I had to put it back into drive and pull around the corner and just cut off the engine. When I re-started, it worked fine again - I tried to recreate it on a side road and it wouldn't do anything. Could this be a brake problem, transmission slip, etc? No warning lights came on at all.
