Consumer Description

WHEN DRIVING MY CAR ON DECLINING GRADES THE "TRACTION CONTROL" LIGHT WILL APPEAR AND THE CAR'S FRONT BRAKES WILL AUTOMATICALLY SLOW THE VEHICLE DOWN. THIS HAPPENED ON 1/21/2018 MOST RECENTLY AND ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT AS THE PERSON BEHIND ME WASN'T READY FOR MY CAR TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP.
