Brakes malfunction resulting in extended stopping distances and jerking vibrations.

It was raining, not heavy, though. I was going about 65 mph on a major highway and tried to brake because the traffic in front of me was slowing down. The car started losing control and I couldn't brake and stop the car at all. Then the car started moving towards the left quickly and spinned for about 2 or 3 times. The rear end on the right side finally hit the middle barrier on the highway and the car turned out to be facing the incoming traffic. No airbags deployed. I wasn't hurt too badly because I didn't hit any other cars (luckily) and it was the rear end that got hit. I got a big bruise on my thigh and my whole body was sore for 3 days. The car was totaled. I don't know if there's a defect with the brake or the wheels or not, but I thought I'd report this for other owners to be aware of.
