I was traveling north on the fl tpke. in my 2006 gmc envoy on 11/8/11 just south of orlando at 9:30 pm when the car in front of me jammed on the breaks because the car in front of him was driving unsafely. when i jammed on my brakes the abs did not function and the brakes locked up. i was swerving violently from side to side across the two lane highway until i finally got the vehicle under control with much physical effort. i thought i was a dead man but i survived. thank god there were no other cars around me or there would have been a terrible accident at 70 mph which is the speed limit. luckily i was able to avoid striking the other two vehicles in the road. there was tire smoke everywhere. this is a serious problem and now i am afraid to drive my vehicle at highway speeds. gmc needs to be notified and something needs to be done about this. *tr
