My vehicle's engine is shaking on the arms, lights going off esp. During wet weather, and corrosion is extreme. My brakes cut on and off - this has been happening since I purchased the car in June, 2017.

I was traveling on a two lane road in my 2014 Mitsubishi Mirage, it had been raining and the roads were still damp. I was driving below the speed limit because I wanted to attempt to get the highest mpg possible on the mpg calculator on the dash. Suddenly, the truck in front of me slammed on breaks. It was at a distance that I should have not been worried about collision, but as soon as I hit the breaks in response, they failed. Everything happened so fast I don't know if my brakes locked up causing me to slide, or if they just did not activate at all. There were no skid marks on the road. I ended up going into oncoming traffic and hitting another vehicle head on. The impact flipped my Mirage multiple times and I landed sideways in a ditch. All airbags deployed. The driver and passenger of the other vehicle were injured and went to the hospital. I broke a rib and received some bad bruising from airbag and seatbelt, but refused to go to the hospital.

I was in rush hour traffic at a red light. The light turned green. Approx. 100 - 150 yrds beyond the intersection the vehicle 3 cars ahead of me slammed on their brakes. This caused the two vehi les between them and me to slam on their brakes. I hit my clutch and brake to stop, but the brakes never engaged. I never even slowed down. My airbags deployed, I was taken to the hospital by ambulance, and my car was deemed to be a total loss by the insurance company.
