| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Driving during very light rain in left lane about 30 mph, car in front (about 2-3 car-lengths ahead) starts braking. i pressed the brakes and abs came on without any reason, the car did not slow down almost at all, forcing me to switch the lane quickly to the right. while switching lanes, car started skidding and diving the nose to the right/tail to the left, i tried to correct the nose to the left, but that caused a more dangerous skid to the left, toward oncoming traffic. i turned the wheel right again, trying to regain control, but the car spun out and hit a tree on right side of road with the driver's door. i was taken to a hospital and stayed there overnight for observation, released next day. nobody was injured, the tree had a few very small scratches. i am still waiting to find out if the car will be repairable or totaled. *nm |
