Consumer stated 2 other vehicles almost collided with each other, and a hydraulic sound was coming from brake pedal when brakes were applied, then vehicle vibrated and skidded across the lane of the highway.
Traveling under 60mph in center lane on dry pavement . Went to merge into left lane. Saw car approaching . While getting back into center lane immediately lost control of vehicle- unable to steer as wheel pulled and locked to the right and car simultaneously started to hop across 3 lanes of traffic spinning out of control. Brakes ineffectual. Crashed into guard rail turning 180 degrees. No airbag deployed inspite heavy impact with front side, driver side and rear of car. Concern regarding unexplained loss of control . Would like to prevent future injury/ fatality.
Brakes travel to within 1 inch of floor and are too near accelerator. Possible to simultaneously accelerate and brake at same time with a size 11/2 shoe.
Anti lock brakes will grab, not stopping smoothly when pedal is deployed. Occupants are slung forward. This is common for this particular model, "qualitative problem". Please describe details.
