Description of the problem | More than once i was driving about 40/45mph, once on a curve, anyhow as i was going through the curve it felt as though the brakes engaged, without me touching them. I understand the safety thing, however at both instances it was not necessary. It caused the car to pull to the left. Almost causing me to loose control. |
