Narrative

First problem the light on my dashboard appeared. My braking is starting to not work properly. When i press the pedal it feels soft, and the brakes are not bitting well. Next thing my abs is not working, that i skid multiple times, and that cause me a few times to almost get into an accident. I had few fender bender issues, but no major damage collision. I end up paying for the repairs of my car, and have the receipt to prove it. Also before having all these issues, with the regenerative braking itself, if i happen to hit a pothole, even thou i’m pressing the brake pedals. It causes the car to accelerate. This only happens during traffic stops that i’m already pressing the brakes, but for some reason if i hit a pothole, like i mentioned above. That car accelerates, and thus cause me to almost hit the car in front of me. I was aware of this issue, so to compensate, i pressed the brake pedals harder whenever this incidents happen.
