1 Air Brake Antilock problem

Failure Date: 10/11/1998

Brakes lock and car highly succeptable to hydroplaning when turning, especially from a stopped position, on any level of rainfall. Most serious incident involved car turning 360 degrees twice then resting opposite side of roadway, in oncoming traffic lanes, after jumping a low median, completely out of my control. I was attempting to turn on a green arrow from a dead stopped position, going approx 0-5 mph when losing control of the car. I do not feel safe driving this vehicle.
