If you get on the brakes HARD on bumpy pavement, or just pull any sudden decel, the brakes will actually release slightly. Imagine you hit the brakes and expect 100% braking power, the brakes actually let go and only give you 10-20%. It's a scary feeling, but it seems to be a common thing on newer cars now. The problem is mostly with people that races, shouldn't be a problem when you drive on the street. It's called ice mode because the car can do the same thing when you hit an ice patch (brakes release upon hitting ice quickly)
This is my theory, some people might disagree.
