I was traveling along the San Francisco Oakland Bay Bridge on a normal commute day when the brakes started sticking early on after that point, by the time I reached the Caldecott tunnel after the incident on the Bay Bridge, the brakes locked up completely, forcing me to coast without using any brakes and subsequently the brakes started smoking. I had to exit the nearest exit to stop the car and tun it off. I had to have my car towed to the repair shop the following day. My car is now unusable for the past two weeks until I can get a resolution to the faulty brakes situation.
The vehical is experiencing locked break calibers. Abs won't release.
