REAR BRAKES FAILED TO WORK. I WAS TRAVELING IN A STRAIGHT PATH AND WHEN I APPROACHED A CHANGING TRAFFIC LIGHT I BEGAN TO SLOW AND ATTEMPTED TO BRAKE. WHEN I TRIED TO DEPRESS THE REAR BRAKES THE PEDAL WAS HARD AND WOULD NOT MOVE. I WAS ABLE TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT BUT ONLY WAY TO GET BRAKES TO WORK WAS TO REMOVE THE FUSE FOR THE ABS SYSTEM AND DISABLE THE HYDRAULIC CONTROL UNIT.
