| Description of the problem | Driving approx. 20 mph in city traffic, car in front stopped suddenly. I tried to apply brakes and the auto-braking system also flashed on dashboard to "brake!" but when i tried to, the brakes were not as responsive as usual. I applied tremendous pressure on the brake pedal (so much so that my foot still hurts over a week later) and the brakes did not react as they typically do, so i hit the car in front of me. |
