2005 Escalade stops when it wants

Hello. My 2005 escalade AWD recently starting having an issue with the brakes. When I am driving at highway speed ~60mph the brakes start activating and slow the car down. They slowly start and gradually get worse. Could be speed or it could be time. I don't hit 60 mph until about 10 minutes into my commute.They keep doing this until I turn the car off for some amount of time (10 minutes at least, the longer the better). I've pulled both abs fuses to see if it were an abs problem but the problem still persists. I've had one shop tell me it's a bad booster and another tell me bad calipers. No abs light when the fuses are in.


Any ideas?

Well you have to see if your brakes are sticking on so when it happens you have to quick go to a garage or go home and jack it up try to spending the wheels the wheels that did not spin are locked up. If all four wheels are locked up generally that means you have a bad booster that's jamming the pressure on. If it's one or more but not all then calipers are sticking because they're either worn out and they drag or the rubber hoses that feed them can deteriorate and then they don't release pressure correctly and they will also make them drag and then you just need to replace the rubber hoses
