My daughter called me last night, she was driving in town and said something was wrong with her car, the ABS etc. warning came on and it felt like it didn't want to go. Turns out the switch got stuck and was holding the brakes on. That's a new one to me. Took the switch out and worked it by hand and about every 10-20 times moving it it would stick about 1/3 open so it was holding the brake on.
