| Driving downhill a truck pulling a trailer braked suddenly in front of me causing me to have to brake hard. the brake pedal shuddered and felt like i needed to take my foot off the brake but i couldn't! additionally the steering wheel shuddered horribly side to side. braking on the remainder of the hill and for a while after had the same chattering, shaking, shuddering, and sort of brake grinding feeling making me feel like i could not rely on the brakes and maybe the steering was having problems too. scared me and felt terribly unsafe!!!! this happened once before about a year ago with this car in a similar downhill sudden braking situation. i drive to avoid having to brake suddenly but sometimes it is unavoidable and i don't want to drive this car anymore because it feels too unsafe. | |||
