While driving northbound on 95 in virginia (about 20 mins outside of richmond) my 2002 mitsubishi eclipse's accelerator became stuck. the car ended up overheating and the brakes failed (the front driver rotor actually ripped apart) before i put the car into neutral. *tr
Dt*: the contact stated while driving 25 mph on normal road conditions, the antilock brake system did not function properly, and there was no response from both front brakes. also, the brake pedal went to the floor when this occurred. there were no warning signals prior to the incident. the vehicle had not been inspected by a dealer.
Abs system failed during emergency manuvers, turned onto wrong side of road to avoid an accident. found myself on the wrong side of the island. i noticed a sharp turn and slammed on the brakes and tried to turn into the turn. the car remained going in a straight line with tires turned and braked applied. i then proceeded to hit the curb straight on and then the front of my car was on the grass. the car sustained major damage to the upper and lower control arms rim and tire. on looker saw front tires locked up and the rear tires rotating freely. luckily this didn't happen with a person infront of me. i have pictures of the skid marks noting the abs failure.*ak
