Vehicle brakes and steering froze up while attempting to go around another driver. This resulted in a total loss. This was on a dry city street. The driver in front of the vehicle was turning into a business, attempted to go around when the brakes and steering just stopped working. This vehicle was just service a few weeks prior to the incident.
