Description of the problem | I was driving east on the road. The car in front of me suddenly stopped and i was unable to stop before hitting them. I do feel i was following at a safe distance but for some reason the car did not slow down or stop as i feel it should have. The front end of the car crumpled though the air bags never deployed and the onstar crash response never activated. There was also very minimal, if any, damage to the car in front of me (possibly dented the bumper). On a side note, i have owned this car for 2 months now and have only been able to drive it for approximately 17 days because i have to keep taking it back to the shop to be worked on for malfunctions in other systems of the brand new car. I am concerned that there may have been a malfunction with the brakes system or airbags as well. |
