Consumer Description

WHEN BRAKING FOR A RED LIGHT AND MOVING INTO A LEFT TURN LANE, THE ABS BRAKES WENT OFF UNCONTROLLABLY FOR NO APPARENT REASON. I HAD A VERY HARD TIME BRAKING AND HAD TO PUT MY ENTIRE BODY WEIGHT ON THE BRAKE PEDAL TO STOP MY VEHICLE. I ACTUALLY HAD TO EXTEND MY LEG AND "STAND UP" ON MY BRAKE PEDAL. I AM GLAD I WAS GOING RATHER SLOW, AROUND 15 M.P.H. BECAUSE I ALMOST HIT THE CAR THAT WAS WAITING AT THE RED LIGHT IN FRONT OF ME. I REALLY THOUGHT MY VEHICLE WAS NOT GOING TO STOP. NOW I AM EXTREMELY AFRAID TO DRIVE MY CAR. THANK YOU.
