Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: When i applied the brake during a raining day, my car suddenly went to the side. this kind of scenario happened twice before ( on local streets while driving around 20 miles per hour). i felt that this car's brake system was different from that of the other cars i owned before. shouldn't the anti-brake system help the car stay straight on the road? on 09-20-2002, it was raining, i drove this car on the highway at the speed around 50 miles per hour, on the first left lane. after i applied the brake in order to reduce the speed further, my car went to the right side, and then left side, and then crashed to the middle concrete. *ph *jb **dimsii ivoq entry posted after 12/12/02 cut over to artemis**768012
