Narrative

I was driving 45-55mph,closest vehicle was about 4-5 car links in front on me, driving about same speed-when the breaks locked up. I had not hit the break! On my dash where the mph is located it turned red and said BREAK.It made the jeep pretty well come to a complete stop in a second. The seat belt caught my neck,my son (passages) seat belt caught his belt and hurt his stomach, my son (back seat driver side) hit the drivers seat pretty hard. I have now took my jeep into the dealer. No word yet in there findings. This was scary and could have ended very badly. We was fortunate enough not to have wreaked or worse. I don’t know who or where to contact someone about this issue.
