Driving car on wet roads at 45 mph, applied breaks to slow down for a street light and the abs was gone. Car slid into the opposing lane and made a grinding noise due to the failure. Then the eps light came on and the power steering was gone. Close-call accident, very scary, and a lot of pain in my neck and arms from driving without the power steering.
