“I was driving my mercedes on the highway when the light flashed on for the brakes saying braking power reduced. All of a sudden I could not stop my car, I was so scared on the highway I really thought I was going to die. Me and my boyfriend was in the car at the time. Somehow I got over to the far lane towards the guardrail where no one normally drives and then I rolled the car until it slowed all the way down and then I forced it into park. Smh there should really be something about this. Now I fear to drive my car ever again.”
