Consumer Description

WHILE TRAVELING WITH MY FAMILY (WIFE AND 2 KIDS) ON THE FREEWAY RETURNING FROM AN FAMILY OUTING. WE WERE TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH ON THE FREEWAY WHEN ALL THE SUDDEN WITHOUT ANY WARNING THE CARS BRAKES ARE ACTIVATED AND THE CAR PULLS TO THE RIGHT, FORTUNATELY THERE WAS NO CAR ON THE RIGHT LANE NEXT TO ME. THE CAR BRAKING ON ITS OWN DID NOT STOP UNTIL THE CAR CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP. AFTER REMOVING OUR HEARTS FROM OUR THROATS AND CHANGING OUR SOILED UNDERGARMENTS WE DECIDED TO HEAD STRAIGHT HOME 45 MILES AWAY. THIS SAME THING OCCURRED ABOUT 3 TIMES DURING OUR TRIP BACK HOME. I WILL BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO ALLOW DOT INSPECTORS TO DRIVE THE CAR TO ASSIST YOUR INVESTIGATION. (I RECOMMEND YOU BRING A CHANGE OF UNDERWEAR.). *TR
