ON WAY HOME TODAY 7/12/2019 CAR STALLED OUT. I HAD VERY LITTLE BRAKES, STEERING WAS HARD TO TURN AND CAR SLOWED DOWN QUICK. IT STARTED BACK UP BUT THEN THE PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW STARTED GOING DOWN ON ITS OWN, AND THE A/C STOPPED WORKING, AND THE DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW WILL NOT GO UP, AND IT KEEPS GETTING A WARNING GOING ON THEN OFF THEN ON SAYS SOMETHING ABOUT BRAKE LAMP CONTROL MALFUNCTION. WHEN I GOT IT HOME I LEFT IN DRIVEWAY FOR A WHILE WHEN I TRIED TO START IT BACK UP I STARTED GETTING TRANSMISSION FAILURE WARNING AND SOMETHING ABOUT THE ENGINE. THEN LATER THE CAR DID START UP WITHOUT THE WARNINGS BUT STILL HAS THE ORIGINAL PROBLEMS.

I WAS DRIVING ON I-95 AT PACE WITH TRAFFIC, NO SPEEDING AND THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME ABRUPTLY HIT THE BREAKS. I WAS 3 TO 4 CAR LENGTHS AWAY. I HIT THE BRAKES BUT WAS NOT CONCERNED BECAUSE I HAD PLENTY OF DISTANCE AND THE CAR IS EQUIPPED WITH ABS BRAKES. AS I HIT THE BRAKES, IT SEEMED LIKE THE CAR WAS NOT SLOWING DOWN EVEN AS I PRESSED HARDER AND THE ABS BRAKES NEVER KICKED IN. I WAS IN THE MIDDLE LANE AND WAS UNABLE TO SWERVE WITHOUT CAUSING A MAJOR ACCIDENT. MY ONLY OPTION WAS TO HIT THE CAR DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF ME. THE CAR I HIT SUSTAINED A SCRAPED REAR BUMPER NO OTHER DAMAGE.
