While driving at 25 mph and trying to evade a driver who ran a stop sign, i slammed on the brakes of my 2009 ford mustang gt. even though my vehicle is equipped with an anti-lock brake system (abs), the brakes did lock and the car skid leaving tire marks for several feet. i have owned vehicles equipped with abs for at least the past 15 years and i have never seen this brake behavior across any of those vehicles as i did today.*tr
I rented a car from thrifty in seattle, and was assigned an almost new mustang. i found it extremely difficult to brake with my left foot without also hitting the accelerator. the pedals were very close and almost same height. i considered the car undriveable. i exchanged it asap, no surprise to thrifty. *tr
