problem #3

Feb 122018

S-TYPE

  • 76,000 miles
While driving and making a left hand turn at slow speed, I tried to use my brakes but my car accelerated. There were 2 pedestrians on the opposite side of the street. To avoid hitting them, I swerved to the curb and immediately turned off my ignition. One of the pedestrians said my front tires locked and my rear tires were spinning. Fortunately, I was driving in my private street located in a townhouse community. I could have easily killed someone. Very scary! the car is now at my mechanics. I am afraid to drive this vehicle.02
