Description of the problem	I believe the faulty abs was the reason i got in a car accident on dec 20, 2016 and again on march 14, 2017. On dec 20, i was driving on the highway in chicago, after recent snow, so roads were a little wet. 2 other cars hit each other in front of me, so i pressed the brake pedal with more than enough distance between me and them to stop in time in most correctly functioning cars. When i put brakes on, i realized i wasn't slowing down quick enough, and ended up hitting the car in front of me. I originally attributed it to conditions, but now i believe bad abs allowed this accident to happen. On march 14, i was also driving on the highway after recent snow, and a little snow fell on the lane in front of me (i think from 18-wheel truck in right lane), i applied brakes, started fishtailing, and ended up loosing control and ended up doing 180 before another car hit me. Both times driving speed was slow, nobody got hurt in accidents. Again, i've driven in rain, sleet, snow, and ice alot of the years and never had problems, so i believe the bad abs allowed this accident to happen
