Consumer Description

IM HAVING SERIOUS BRAKE PROBLEMS I ALMOST HAD A MAJOR CAR ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF MY THIS PROBLEM. THIS CAR BRAKES BY ITSELF SPECIALLY WHEN I SPEED UP TO 50MPH AND ABOVE. AND ALSO THE BRAKE PEDAL WONT DISENGAGE BY ITSELF WHEN BRAKING AND THE WHOLE CAR STARS SHAKING UNCONTROLABLE. AND IM AFRAID EVERYDAY MORE AND MORE THAT I MIGHT KILL MYSELF DRIVING THIS CAR BECAUSE THIS IS MY ONLY CAR I HAVE AND DRIVE EVERYWHERE I NEED TO GO SPECIALLY NOW THAT IM EXPECTING A BABY BOY I CONSTANTLY NEED CHECK UPS IN MY CLINIC I GO TOO. MOST OF MY BRAKING PROBLEMS ACCURED WHILE IM DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY BUT SOMETHING I DONT NEED TO BE ON THE FREEWAY FOR ALK THIS TO HAPPEN.
