Default 2013 Avenger feels like it has a jake brake when u let off gas pedal

I have a 2013 Avenger , and every time i let off the gas pedal , it feels like i am braking . It slows down fast, it wont free roll .It acts like I have a jake brake on, like a semi truck has. It also brakes and after a while it releases and the comes back to braking almost like its cycling . does any one else have this problem ? I also wonder if its braking while i am giving it gas and just dont know it , Help !!

I have the 2008 Avenger so, I would imagine that by 2013 the Avenger has Anti-Lock Brakes?

It seems like this is correct per:

You either have a sticking Caliber or something is wrong with the Anti-Lock system of which I would have it checked right away!

Best of luck.
