| Description of the problem | On monday september 22nd around 540pm on the 10 fwy going eastbound right before towne ave. As the traffic on the freeway began to slow i came to a complete stop. About 5 seconds after stopping i noticed that the car began to roll forward. I applied more pressure to the brake pedal however the car continued to slowly roll. I then stepped on the emergency break and the car did not stop. The car slowly rolled about 8 feet before it stopped on the back of a big rig trailer bumper. I called 911 and explained that i did not want to move the car as i was not sure it would stop. The chp advised that they would send out a tow truck to get me off the freeway. I was removed from the freeway and i had aaa tow my car to the nearest hyundai dealer in glendora ca. They called me the next day and said they ran a full test on the car and could not find anything. However they did fix the recall on my car for the rollaway risk and shift cable to the transmission. I asked them do you think this had anything to do with it. The dealer indicated no that maybe i was driving fast and the abs took over. I told him that i had more than 8 feet between the big rig and myself when i came to a full stop and that i was not going more than 15-20 miles since traffic was slow. The dealer service agent said nothing showed up on the scanned test and they drove it and is fine. |
