Filed: Apr 2020

While driving at a steady 55 mph, your car's stability control light came on and the transmission suddenly jerked into 1st gear, leaving you unable to drive it. Since then, your brake pedal sinks to the floor without stopping the vehicle. This likely requires inspection of the stability control system, transmission, and brake system, potentially including brake fluid level checks and component replacement.
