Hello,
Anti-lock brake systems typically do not apply pressure on their own, If you had anti-lock brake activation, you would have kick back of your brake pedal and likely noise. It is possible you could have some kind of brake booster issue, or a master cylinder issue, or some other brake system issue. Brake concerns are of course serious business, so certainly do not continue to drive until a professional assessment can be made.
