Description of the problem | Driving on highway 50 my way to work the following dash lights came on vdc off, abs, slip. After pulling over to examine what was wrong i discovered i had no brake lights & the 10 amp brake fuse had blown. I then got back in my car to drive to a parts store & the shift lock wouldn't disengage. So i manually engaged the shift lock & drove to the parts store & replaced the fuse but the dash lights were still on so i began to drive home & the brakes became tighter & wouldn't release & they eventually were completely locked with all 4 so hot they were smoking so i parked it. The next day i went to drive to a mechanic & the brakes had released but the more i drove they started engaging on their own without releasing & became hot again so i parked it again. Basically after it sets the brakes release but after driving for a short distance 2-5 miles they begin to engage & not release causing them to overheat. I've searched the internet for solutions & it appears numerous people have had the same problem & some have had a short in a brake wire harness & others have replaced speed sensors or abs pumps but they can't tell which caused the problem since it's intermittent. I believe this is a safety issue because i was in motion on a highway with a tractor trailor behind me & my brakes began engaging on their own & i was terrified of being rear ended & possibly killed. Now i'm afraid to drive my vehicle because i don't know if it will happen again or how to fix it. |
