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.
