If it happens after or during a lot of hard braking, like a long downhill section. Theres water in the brake fluid. The waters boiled & is now pressurizing the system. Get it changed as soon as possible, good reason for changing the brake fluid.
Theres gonna be somebody who dosen't agree with me though.
Like poster # 17.

I'll disagree with that. Liquid doesn't compress, gas does. When water is in the brake fluid, under heavy loads it boils and turns into a gas. That gas can then be compressed meaning that the breaking effort is going into compressing the gas as well as the pads.hence longer pedal travel eventually ending up with the pedal hitting it's stops while car continues going.

had that with mine and eventually locked on till they cooled then would lock on agin when hot. master cylinder was stuffed. dickhead before me put in oil instead of trans fluid luckily didnt get to the abs but still rooted cylinder. so have no doubt its different but very well could be fault in master cylinder
