Consumer Description

I WAS PARKED WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING FOR APPROXIMATELY 18 MINUTES WHEN SUDDENLY, I HEARD A BEEPING SOUND IN THE CAR IT WOULD NOT STOP!!! I TURNED MY ENGINE OFF IN HOPE TO RESET WHATEVER IT WAS BUT AS SOON AS ME FOOT TOUCHED THE BRAKE THE BEEPING RESUMED. IT WAS RAINING AND I HAD NOT CLUE OF WHAT IT WAS. AT THIS POINT, ALL OF THE BRAKE LIGHT ON MY DASH CAME ON . I WENT OUT OF THE CAR POPPED THE HOOD AND DIDN'T IMMEDIATELY RECOGNIZE ANYTHING. I THEN WENT BACK IN THE CAR AND WITH THE BEEPING STILL IN MY EAR, DECIDED TO HEAD HOME. THAT'S WHEN I NOTICED I COULD NOT STOP MY CAR !!! THE BRAKE WAS STIFF AND I LITERALLY HAD TO FORCE MY CAR TO STOP BY APPLYING AS MUCH PRESSURE AS PHYSICALLY POSSIBLE TO MY BRAKE PEDAL. I TOOK THE CAR TO MY MECHANIC AND AFTER DIAGNOSTICS HE STATED IT'S THE ABS PUMP AND BRAKE ACTUATOR.
