description: I WAS TRAVELING EAST ON ROUTE 322 NEAR DAUPHIN, PA AT ABOUT 55 MPH. I WAS IN THE RIGHT HAND LANE. A CAR TRAVELING IN THE LEFT HAND LANE CUT IN FRONT OF ME. TO AVOID HITTING HIM, I APPLIED THE BRAKES HARD. MY CAR SUDDENLY WENT OUT OF CONTROL, FISHTAILING IN THE LANE AND THEN SUDDENLY WENT INTO THE LEFT HAND LANE. I TURNED THE STEERING WHEEL TO THE RIGHT. THE REAR END OF THE CAR SWUNG AROUND HITTING A BRIDGE ABUTMENT, BOUNCED OFF, AND WENT BACK INTO THE RIGHT HAND LANE. I WAS FINALLY ABLE TO STRAIGHTEN THE CAR OUT AND PULL OVER TO THE SHOULDER AND STOP IT. FORTUNATELY I DID NOT HIT ANYONE, BUT DID SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE TO MY CAR. THIS INCIDENT REMINDED ME OF AN ACCIDENT I HAD YEARS AGO WITH THE CHEVY CITATION AND THE BRAKES LOCKED ON ME. IS THE SAME THING HAPPENING WITH THE FIT? I KNOW IT HAS ABS, BUT THINGS CAN AND DO GO WRONG. I ASKED THE REPAIR SHOP TO LOOK AT THE BRAKES, THEY DID NOT SEE ANYTHING. BUT THE PROBLEM MAY NOT BE VISIBLE. *TR
