| When i was driving last thursday, i was going about 45 mph. i had to slow down because of something in the road, and the car slowed and lunged forward as if it was thinking about stopping, but didn't have enough control in the brakes. there wasn't an accident, but i almost hit the car in front of me. i took my car to a mechanic where they couldn't find anything wrong with it. | |||
