The antilock machine is locking the wheels so much that stops the car completely right in the midle of the traffic and the tires smell like burning tires. I had the car towed twice. I am so afraid that this happens while driving in the highway, that I do not drive there, only the streets.
The contact owned a 2004 Hyundai Elantra. While driving approximately 60 mph, the brake pedal was depressed and seized without warning and the steering wheel seized. As a result, the vehicle crashed into another vehicle, sideswiped a tree, and crashed into a small ditch. The driver sustained lacerations to the liver. The front seat passenger suffered severe injuries to the left leg and sustained a fractured collar bone. In addition, both rear seat occupants suffered from seat belt burns to the right side of the neck and underneath the stomach area. Medical attention was required. A police report was filed. The vehicle was destroyed. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was unavailable.
