| I was driving my 2006 pontiac vibe south on interstate 79 in rural pennslvania when the brakes soundly failed to respond. i stepped on the peddle but the car failed to slow, and the cruise control failed to disengage. to avoid an hitting the car in front of me, i swerved into the shoulder, continuing to apply the brakes. as i tried to slow, the car fishtailed and i skidded into the interstate again and hit the opposite guardrail. antilock brakes did not engage. finally, when i crashed, the car's airbag failed to deploy, despite the entire front end of the car caving in (resulting in a total loss of the car). fortunately, i was wearing my seat belt and did not strike another vehicle, so none one was hurt, but the car was a total loss. *tr | |||
