I had to pull the handbrake (LUCKILY NOT AN ELECTRONIC ONE!!), and pull it completely sideways in a skid for about 15 metres and pulled up within about a half a metre.
Another time, driving a hire car camry. I have taken it for a spirited drive (as spirited as a camry can perform anyway) through the Adelaide hills. And when you use the brakes a few times heavily, the next time you use the brakes the ABS does not work and the car locks up. Yes the when the brakes get too hot the ABS turns off. And what if I needed it? |
Not meaning to be rude but it sounds like the problem in both these instances was between the steering wheel and the seat.
