“Coming out of a tunnel, wet surface, slight turn, and the automatic braking system known as traction control locked brakes and steering up on it's own causing car to hydro plane into a curb and a wall. I had no control but if I did I could have controlled the car and prevent the crash.”

It was at that moment that the vehicle began to roll forward I quickly placed my foot back onto the break pedal stopping the vehicle which still indicated it was in park. With my foot remaining on the break pedal I shifted the gear into drive and into park, again. To ensure the vehicle was now parked. …”
