| Description of the problem | Was towing a smaller pick up on a car carrier approaching a stop light aprox 30 feet in front of me at about 40 mph . A car in the lane to my right pulled into my lane & i applied my breaks a bit harder now that i have less room to stop. My truck did not slow down any, i pushed the break peddle to the floor & still wasn't slowing down. I pushed the emergency brake to the floor yet still collided with the car in front of me, causing serious damage to both vehicles. After my truck was repaired i picked it up at 6pm one evening & the next morning called back saying something was seriously wrong with my truck. It was randomly slowing down & speeding up out of my control & hearing a odd noise from the engine area. 4 hours later i slammed into another car because it would not slow down & stop. |
