Consumer Description

WHEN I FIRST HIT THE BRAKES, THE CAR DID NOT BRAKE. THERE WAS A GRINDING SOUND FOR ABOUT 4 SECONDS AND THEN THE BRAKES GRABBED HARD AND THE VEHICLE STOPPED. THEN THE LIGHTS CAME ON STATING THE ANTI LOCK BRAKES AND TRACTION CONTROL DO NOT WORK. THE NEXT TIME I STARTED THE CAR, THE LIGHTS FOR THE ANTI LOCK BRAKES AND TRACTION CONTROL WERE NOT ON. I WAS DRIVING 50 MPH. TRAFFIC STOPPED FAST. I SLAMMED ON MY BRAKES, BUT THE BRAKES DID NOT WORK. THERE WAS THE GRINDING SOUND AS BEFORE, AND THEN I CRASHED INTO THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. *TR
