| Description of the problem | I was traveling east on us i90 in charlton ma in heavy holiday traffic keeping a safe interval as cars kept braking off and on and someone a dozen cars up slammed on thier brakes causing a chain reaction. I hit my brakes hard also but did not slow down fast as if i was still pressing on gas pedal i was slowing but not (right ?) or fast enough as i was standing on brake but still keep moving faster ahead then seemed right? This had happened a month or so before and i thought maybe my rug had slipped under brake petal and over my gas pedal as it seemed the harder i pressed on brake i still kept moving forward as if both were being pressed at the same time it seemed very odd or erie as i just kept moving forward. I did manage to stop just in time before i hit his bumper. Like i said i thought at the time maybe the rug had slipped or something because it had slipped off the hook on the floor but it had not realy moved that much and i secured it with hook on floor and checked to make sure it was still secure the second time in july 3rd and it was . Since then i have read about 2014 sonatas having problems with thier brakes that fits what happened exactly on over 800,000 |
