I WAS DRIVING MY VEHICLE ON THE HIGHWAY AROUND 9 OR 10AM IT WAS CLEAR AND SUNNY. TRAFFIC WAS MODERATE I WAS GOING ABOUT 45MPH. THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME SLAMMED ON THERE BRAKES AND CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP. I WAS AT LEAST 3 OR 4 MAYBE MORE CAR LENGTHS BEHIND THEM WHEN I SAW THEM BRAKE. I WASN'T WORRIED ABOUT STOPPING AS I HAD PLENTY OF ROOM BUT WHEN I WENT TO SLOW DOWN I ENDED UP PUSHING MY BREAK PEDDLE ALL THE WAY DOWN COMPLETELY DOWN TO THE FLOOR, YET I WAS NOT BRAKING THAN AS I GOT CLOSER I TRIED TO SWERVE TO THE LEFT TO THE SHOULDER BECAUSE W WERE ON THE FAR LEFT INSIDE PANE THE CARPOOL LANE. WHEN I TRIED TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL I SEEMED TO BE LOCKED I THEN TRIED TO TURN TO THE RIGHT AND AGAIN I WAS LOCKED. SO I BRACED FOR IMPACT BECAUSE MY BREAKS WERE NOT BRAKING AND I COULD NOT TURN M STEERING WHEEL TO AVOID THE ACCIDENT AND I ENDED UP SPAMMING INTO THE BACK OF THERE SUV GOING ROUGHLY 45MPH. MY SPEED NEVER SLOWED ANY. MY CAR WAS TOTALLED SPILLING RADIATOR FLUID ALL OVER THE ROADWAY. HE TO BE TOWED . I WAS ESSENTIALLY RENDERED HOPELESS UNABLE TO SLOW DOWN OR STOP AND UNABLE TO SWERVE NEITHER DIRECTION SO I OUL AT LEAST AVAPID HITTING THE CAR ON FONT OF ME. I WAS UNABLE TO AVOID THIS ACCIDENT THAT WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN EVEN THINKABLE HAD THE BRAKES NO LOCKED AND THE STEERING WHEEL NOT LOCKED. I WAS GIVEN A TICKET FOR REARENDING THEM. I A FEW MONTHS LATER DID A SEARCH AND FOUND THAT THIS JETTA HAD A RECALL STATING THE ABS SYSTEM MALFUNCTIONS YET I NEVER RECEIVED NOTICE .
