I was out driving around just now, and I was coming back towards my house and I got on it pretty hard going over a bridge, then came a stop sign ahead so I started shifting down, and I think I was in third. Well, when I went to hit my brakes they weren't stopping my car and my steering wheel felt kind of stiff. So I almost hit the car infront of me and went out into the intersection because my brakes were just barely stopping my car. I had to restart it as well, I'm not sure if it turned off right before all that happened or if it just died because I didnt have my foot on the clutch or what, it happened so fast. Does anyone have any ideas on the cause of this? I'd really hate for that to happen again and I hit another car. Once I started it back up though everything worked again... not sure what was up...
