Driving at 40 MPH started into turn but not yet turning the steering wheel the tires locked up and steering wheel locked up for no apparent reason. The car viered off the road and into a farmers field. I was only bruised but the car is damaged. Ford service rep. Is stating the car is showing no faulty codes. The brakes had been replaced under warranty just three weeks earlier and the car would not start for no apparent reason back in july and august finally fixed they replaced the starter (ford)
I was braking at a red light behind a toyota prius. When I had almost completely stopped, my car lurched forward, with my foot still on the brake. I lifted my foot from the brake for an instant, then slammed the brake pedal down, stopping my car just a couple inches from slamming into the car in front of me.
