While driving on a snowy road, approximately 20 mph, I attempted to brake. Brake pedal would only push in part way and clicked loudly. Car did not respond at all to brake pedal being pushed. Tried repeatedly to press brake pedal but was met with only very loud clicking, pedal did not appear to go in as far as normal and no response from car whatsoever. Debated whether to push parking brake in or try putting car into lower gear when I braked yet again and finally car responded. Braking was obvious and immediate.
Went back and attempted to recreate problem on same part of street but car clicked quietly and braked immediately. Am concerned that ABS system was fighting for control and therefore car did not brake at all. Roads were snowy but not icy. This occurred over an area of about 100-150 ft.
