| Description of the problem | While driving 55 mph on a straight stretch of road, the car careened to the right and the automatic braking system suddenly became engaged and our car was forced to stop on the side of the road. After turning off the car and restarting, the problem appeared to be a singular incident. However, about one year later, on march 27th, 2015 a similar occurrence happened but at only 25 mph. The car, however, was not drivable. After driving about 25 feet, the traction light came on, the signal sounded and the car brakes began to pump as though the car was skidding. As the car slowed almost to a stop, stepping on the brake manually stopped the signal and the light , as well as, the abs system temporarily allowing the car had driven a short distance. After another 25 feet, the traction light went on again, the warning bell went off and the abs system was activated again. This continued for a significant distance before i determined that the car could not be driven without a significant accident occurring. Unfortunately in the first incident, we were almost struck from behind by a closely following vehicle. In the second case, the same nearly occurred as i tried to exit onto a roadway. |
