AFTER ONLY 31,000 MILES THE RIGHT FRONT ABS AND TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM ON A 2005 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE FAILED TO WORK, CAUSING ERRATIC STOPPING, MOVING AND BRAKING. THE CAR STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC AND HAD TO BE ACCELERATED RAPIDLY TO AVOID A CRASH. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I WAS DRIVING ON THE LONG ISLAND EXPRESSWAY AND AS I WAS TRYING TO ACCELERATE, THE GAS PEDAL STOPPED WORKING AND THE CAR SLOWED DOWN. I ATTEMPTED TO PRESS DOWN ON THE GAS PEDAL AGAIN, TO NO AVAIL. THE CAR STARTED TO DECELERATE. I HAD TO PUT MY HAZARD LIGHTS ON AND GET ON THE SHOULDER. I PUT MY FOOT UNDER THE GAS PEDAL TO SEE IF ANYTHING WAS STUCK UNDER IT, BUT THERE WERE NO FOREIGN OBJECTS. LUCKILY, I WAS NOT HIT AND I WAS IN THE RIGHT HAND LANE. THIS WAS A VERY POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS SITUATION. *TR
