What owners wrote
While the vehicle was parked with the brake depressed, the front wheels began to turned which caused the vehicle to roll down a driveway. During this incident a baby was injured. The cause of the problem has yet to be determined. Please provide any additional information.
Anti-lock brake failure - failure of electronic hydraulic control unit while braking a few weeks ago I was driving on a highway at about 65-70 MPH when a car on the side of the road started to pull onto the highway. I was only about 200 feet away from the car so I slammed on my brakes - it seemed like the car was going to stop pulling out so I let go of the brakes for a second but then the other drive did pull right in front of me and I slammed on the brakes again.
