2000 PONTIAC GRAND AM — SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP

I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AND MY PONTIAC VEHICLE'S ABS BRAKES FAILED. THERE SHOULD HAVE BEEN SUFFICIENT TIME TO STOP. THE BRAKE WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND WOULD NOT SLOW THE CAR DOWN AT ALL. THE CAR ONLY HAD 15,000 MILES ON IT AND WAS RECENTLY CHECKED OUT BY THE DEALER. I ALMOST CRASHED INTO THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME BECAUSE OF CONGESTION. LUCKILY, THERE WAS A CARPOOL LANE OPEN ON THE LEFT DRIVER'S SIDE. TO AVOID REAR-ENDING THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME I CHECKED MY SIDE VIEW MIRROR AND SAW A VAN APPROACHING A LITTLE WAYS BACK. I QUICKLY CHANGED LANES AND THE VAN CRASHED INTO THE REAR END OF MY CAR. *AK
