Maintenance/Repairs

Hi, I am having trouble with what seems to be the brakes on my suburban. After driving it for some time the brakes seem to be locking up. If on the highway, it will start as a vibration in the steering and escalating to shaking and slowing as well as not maintaining speed. In the city it happens after applying breaks a few times. At this point, the brake peddle does not go far to the floor before full braking happens. When this issue is in full effect you and you are moving slow, you can feel a slow/fast rotation. Also, hot stinky brake smell by back wheels when I stop. If you stop and sit in idle and try to go again, the problem is still there.If you turn the car off for a few minutes and restart, it goes away. Our mechanic is perplexed by this. In an effort to find a solution, he took the fuse out of the ABS system and drove it a bit. Thinking it was solved, we took it home. This did not solve the problem. It seems to be getting worse. Any thoughts.
