| Description of the problem | After ~30 min driving on the capital beltway around washington dc, i existed at exit 4 on i270 north). The engine suddenly evolved very fast when i was braking before a traffic light between i270 ramp and falls road. I felt like the car just wanted to keep moving. I ended up hitting a vehicle in the front though the damages on both were very minor. I immediately turned off the engine and place it in park. After a few minutes (the other driver and i exchanged contact info), i restarted the engine and the car seemed to work ok. |
