“When I was pulling out of a parking spot in reverse the brake was fighting me so it kept going into a concrete pillar then when I shifted it into drive it did it again and now matter how hard I pressed the brake it couldn't of stopped till it ran into a fence not far in front of the car when it hit the concrete pillar. I quickly turned it off and back on then it responded accordly then. It was like the ABS was fighting me when I was pressing the brake and not allowing me brake to be pressed to slow/stop the car both first in reverse then forward to pull away from the crash.”

“The car had a mind of it's own when I was backing out a parking spot it wouldn't allow me to press down the brake(like the ABS was fighting me) to stop before it shortly crashed into a concrete pillar and then when I put it in drive it took off on me and crashed/stopped into a fence again wouldn't press down the brake to allow me to stop it before it crashed into a guard railing/fence. I quickly turned it off and back on before trying to back out of the crash and it acted fine after that. …”
