Complaint Description: abs system failed during emergency manuvers, turned onto wrong side of road to avoid an accident. found myself on the wrong side of the island. i noticed a sharp turn and slammed on the brakes and tried to turn into the turn. the car remained going in a straight line with tires turned and braked applied. i then proceeded to hit the curb straight on and then the front of my car was on the grass. the car sustained major damage to the upper and lower control arms rim and tire. on looker saw front tires locked up and the rear tires rotating freely. luckily this didn't happen with a person infront of me. i have pictures of the skid marks noting the abs failure.*ak .
