“Out of know where my breaking system just decided to stop my automobile. I had brought my car back to the dealership proximally 10 times and it started about a month after I purchased it for the same problems. My new ABS system makes a loud noise once it decides to go on. I know that sometimes for example going under a bridges or going around curves could activate my system. There is absolutely no warning when this car decides to stop on its own, it happen even when there isn't cars, or curves it's just decides to slam on the brakes to stop. It when there nothing in front of my car. …”
