Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY WHEN I CHANGED LANES AND LOST CONTROL OF MY VEHICLE. MY ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM DID NOT WORK AS IT WAS SUPPOSED TO; MY TRACTION CONTROL DID NOT WORK AS IT WAS SUPPOSE TO, WHICH RESULTED IN ME LOSING CONTROL OF MY VEHICLE AND HITTING ANOTHER VEHICLE. A MONTH EARLIER, I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO RANCHO MOTOR COMPANY TO HAVE A RECALL PART ON MY VEHICLE FIXED. THEY NOTICED THAT MY ABS AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS WERE ON. THEY RAN A DIAGNOSTICS TEST ON THE VEHICLE. WHEN I PICKED UP MY VEHICLE, THEY INFORMED ME THERE WAS NOTHING PHYSICALLY WRONG WITH MY VEHICLES ABS AND TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEMS BUT THE SOFTWARE WAS OUTDATED AND NEEDED TO BE UPDATED. *TR
