2003 G35 Coupe brakes locks up while driving
Im a new member but here's my situation:
The other day i ran over a sewer drain pretty hard (on the passenger front wheel) and since then my brake light would randomly turn on while im driving and the slip would too. the vdc turns off and the brake pedal would also get really stiff. i can only continue driving if i restart the car but when i restart the car it takes longer to start also (2-3 seconds longer then usual). when i restart the car the slip light remains on and the vdc is off and cant be turned back on. if i let the car rest for awhile then everything is fine (slip light turns off and vdc is back on) again but after about 5min of driving it all happens again. ive been searching for a fix but i cant find the problem. Has anyone ran into the same issue or know whats wrong? this is dangerous and i want to get it fix asap. im having my mechanic look at it tomorrow.

My guess is you knocked your ABS sensors out of whack. They are very picky and cause lots of issues if that happens. Have your mechanic look there first and let us know what the issue was.
Sorry for the late reply but I was on vacation and left my car with the mechanic to check out. He said a problem he found was the front right wheel bearing was damaged and I'm getting it fixed. Don't know whether it's the solution to this problem but hopefully it is.
