Description of the problem | At 55mph i felt that i had plenty of time to stop in a hurry. I applied firm pressure on the breaks and the breaks locked up. The car began to go into a skidding motion and i had absolutely no control over the steering wheel to move out of the way, i could have avoided this collision if i turned to the right, but because i had no steering ability i rear-ended them from my skid. The abs braking system, it is suppose to help me by pumping the brakes for me, but it didn't. I sustained a broken leg when the air bag deployed at my leg. On other occasions, i had also experienced the loss of power while driving.. Car would hesitate and then power and thought there was something wrong with the transmission. Brought it in for that and they said there was nothing wrong with it |
