| I was traveling on hillen road and e. 33rd st in baltimore, md. the weather was light raining and misty. as i approached 33rd and the alameda i engaged my brakes, the vehicle did not stop at first and heard a loud bang. at first i thought i hit something in the road and had flat tires. i tired to drift out of the intersection into a safe location and put my hazard lights on. my grandson got out of the vehicle and checked for any visual damages. there were none. as i tried to drive out of the flow of traffic the noise was horrific and as if all components of my brakes were rattling within the wheels. i pulled along the side of the road and called for a tow. after inspection at the repair shop i was told that the abs ring had shattered inside the brake assembly. when i went to the shop, the mechanic showed me what was supposed to be the abs ring, shattered into many small pieces. thank god i was able to maneuver the vehicle and avoid what could have been a tragic accident. *tr | |||
