Consumer Description

FOR THE EVENTS OF THE FINAL FAILURE; I WAS ATTEMPTING TO STOP AT A RED LIGHT THAT I DID NOT SEE AT FIRST. THOUGH I HAD PLENTY OF ROOM TO STOP MY VEHICLE BEFORE HITTING SOMEONE I WAS NOT ABLE TO STOP DUE TO THE BRAKES LOCKING UP. I HAD AT LEAST TWO AND A HALF CAR LENGHTS BETWEEN ME AND THE INTERSECTION. I BELIEVE AS A RESULT IN THE BRAKES LOCKING UP I WAS UNABLE TO STOP AND T-BONED ANOTHER CAR. MY CAR WAS TOTALLED. I HAVE HAD OTHER PROBLEMS WITH THE BRAKES LOCKING UP AND NOTHING WAS DONE TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM BECAUSE THE SERVICE PEOPLE COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM SO THEY DID NOT KNOW WHAT TO FIX. *AK
