Pontiac Grand Am Service Brakes, Hydraulic Antilock Safety Report | Dec 28, 1999
Reported on Dec 28, 1999
| I WAS DRIVING APX. 25-30 MPH ON SLUSH COVERED ROADS. I SAW THE CAR AHEAD OF ME BRAKING, SO I STARTED TO APPLY STEADY PRESSURE. I WAS APX 8-10 CAR LENGTHS BEHIND, BUT I STARTED TO SLIDE. SO APPLIED MORE FIRM PRESSURE, STILL NOTHING. SO FINALLY I REALIZED MY BRAKES WERE NOT DO ANYTHING SO I PUSHED THEM TO THE FLOOR AND SLOWLY TURNED THE WHEEL TO THE RIGHT, TO GO IN THE DITCH. I CONTINUED TO SLIDE. MY ABS DID NOT WORK AT ALL. SOMEHOW MY CAR SLID LEFT AND I ENDED UP IN ONCOMING TRAFFIC WHERE I GOT HIT HEAD ON BY TWO DIFFERENT CARS, AND GOT HIT ON THE SIDE A COUPLE OF TIMES. MY CAR WAS TOTALED, BUT LUCKILY I WAS NOT HURT THAT BAD. *AK | |
