Right rear tire hit hole or bump in parking. Activated anti-lock braking for first time since buying car in 2001. Lost steering control at same time. Couldn't turn it. Stopped before entering highway. Put car in park; then drive and slowly took off. Steering returned to normal. Dangerous situation if I was in traffic or meeting another vehicle while attempting to exit parking lock. Faint odor of fuel. No obvious leak on ground.

Brakes failed. The breaks began squeaking then they failed when trying to stop at a red light. Slid into the intersection and caused an accident. This car saved my wife's life with the side impact airbags but also caused the wreck. The cars fluids are serviced regularly and had all fluids, the car just failed to stop.
