Little over 30k miles. about 47 mph on a 45 highway and needed to veer right. i had my music turned up and instead of breaking i allowed the car to coast so the speed would drop before my turn i needed to make. . when i dropped to a speed i was happy with, then i start breaking and thats when i realized the car had cut off, the steering wheel locked up, and the brakes became tougher to push. it was a busy highway and a just as busy right turn that i was trying to make. i had to throw the car in neutral to restart while still rolling or i would have been hit.
