While driving down the highway at 65 MPH an animal began entering my path. Due to the size of the animal I immediately applied the brakes hard. The vehicle immediately jerked the steering wheel to the left and then even harder to the right. Had I not had both hands on the wheel, it is highly probable that control of the car would have been lost when it jerked to the right. As it was, I was able to control the car but this was a scary emergency stop event. I did not have to stop the car and did get slowed enough to avoid an accident -- it was the reaction of the car jerking left and more powerfully to the right that was scary and was definitely not expected. The car has disc brakes all around.

The brakes felt low and then the low brake fluid warning light and also stability track alarm and the brake light on the other side lit up. I drove a few miles more and the alarms would sound every time I hit the brakes. The car had to be flat bedded back to the dealer. The truck driver looked for brake fluid level, there was no brake fluid at all. I was informed later that the brake fluid had all leaked out the rear caliper. This has not been resolved, car is still at dealer.
