The rear tires of my 2001 Ford Mustang gt convertible began to skid, since the road was wet. This is understandable, so I eased off the gas to allow the tires to catch, but the traction control must have turned on, and caused my car to begin spinning in circles. This made my car go off the road and into a tree. I believe the traction contrl system is faulty.

Intermittent problem in which engine will race when applying brakes, and foot off of gas pedal. Usually occurs when stopping at stop sign or pulling into parking place. Car will come to almost complete stop and then the engine will race and the car will lurch forward, and brakes cannot stop car. Brake pedal will go all the way to the floor without stopping vehicle. I have had to shift into neutral or park to stop the vehicle. Needless to say this is a very unsafe condition. Ar is at Ford dealer presently.

There were 2 cars already setting at the sign. When I hit my brakes hard they did not go down as they normally would it felt like somethhing was keeping the brakes from working. I jerked the steering wheel to the right to keep from hitting the cars in front jumping a curb then it was like the brakes kicked in and started working and locked up.
