I went to go step on brakes to slow down as I was coming up on a vehicle that was stopped due to traffic in front of me when my brakes locked up and I slid right into the guy. I tried to turn my wheel to go on shoulder, but vehicle would not move. I was on the freeway and in traffic. I wasn't speeding as there was no possible way to as traffic was in play, but our lane started to move and I stayed back and when I went to step on brakes, they locked up.

Driving on a two lane highway at 65 mph when the car suddenly pulled to the left. Car went off the highway resulting in a total loss. Part of the steering rack and pinion may have cracked. When looking at the part it appears to have an old crack along with a fresh looking break.
