My name is [xxx] and I just had a small accident on june 08th, 2010 in phoenix az. It involved my 2001 mercedes benz ml320. Facts: on june 8th, 2010 I was traveling at approximately 50 MPH on the freeway (hov lane) when the front right wheel locked. The brakes just engaged without warning and or me activating them. Luckily I the person behind me was able to swerve to avoid me but still clipped the left side of my rear bumper. I believe I'm lucky I did not caused or sustained any serious injury.
While driving on highway the car brakes come on automatically without touching the brakes, it happened few times, the car has to come to stop, very dangerous situation
