Esp/ABS error. Lights on. I almost crashed into someone's car due to my ABS brakes failing on me. I was on the highway driving approximately 75 miles per hour. Came up on a traffic jam at a stand still. Scariest moment of my life. Though I was going to die. This needs to be addressed immediately.

When the ABS, brake and other lights came on, the car was in motion. It was after applying the brakes where I skid and the lights came on. I live in an area with snow and my ABS has not worked since the light came on, making driving very unsafe. I'm aware previous models of my car have had issues with defective or failed ABS systems/anti-skid/braking systems which raises concern for my model year.
