| Electronic Stability Control problems |
While driving on freeway 210 in the second lane next to fast lane, going 70-72 mph in heavy traffic the rear brakes locked up. Causing the rear tires to skid, in turn causing it to start a clockwise spin two times. Because I was in heavy traffic I quickly desided not to try to control the car in that lane causing a mayor car pile up, so I desided to try to make it over to the side of fwy. I missed three cars and a semi truck and ended up stopping before I hit the third car. I was still setting part way in the slow lane, so I tried to move the car. It would not move forward or back ward even though the engine was running and the car would go in gear. My wife and I came out with no injuries and no one hit us. Wow as I think about it now. I had it towed home and it still sets in my back yard. Is there a recall on this because of the brakes or the p/c that may have cause it?.
