I've read most of these and think I finally know what it is- is it when I go down a steep hill going about 40-45, and when I touch the brakes, it buzzes and begins to brake steadily down the hill? If so, should I try to make this happen?

You don't have to touch the brakes to make it kick in. It will happen by itself shortly after you take your foot off of the gas pedal.
