Description of the problem	I was driving 45 on a 4 lane highway the car in front of me had stopped dead in my lane i had plenty of distance to stop but when i applied the brakes i felt the antilock braes vibrate twice and then it felt like i was still going the same speed not slowing me down (i had both feet on brake pedal when i finally stopped). Resulting in me striking the car and totaling mine and his. Witnesses said it looked like i had applied the brakes in plenty of time but didn't stop. I did not know he had stopped because he had hit the car in front of him which had pulled to side of road . This was a 4 car accident car 2 hit car 1 and then car 3 hit car 2 leaving car 3 sitting in road which i hit car 3. All because car 2 was looking at a accident in median. I asked to have car brakes checked and they said it would cost to much to hire engineers to check over.
