Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I bought a 199 ford mercury cougar and was in an accident on dec. 8th, 2006 when i tried to apply brakes they started moving on their own and the movement was braking up and down i was unable to stop and wrecked and i bought this vehicle from a car lot. this car constantly when cold does this and it also squeaks like there is too much pressure on the whole car, the brakes are still having that shuttering problem. can this be fixed?-i bought the vehicle at the end of last year... it has since done the same things with the braking again and it scares me but it only does it when it is cold out ... *nm updated
