| Description of the problem | I was approaching a stop light, two cars were already at full stop, i applied the brakes and my car came to a complete stop approxametely 10 feet behind the car in front of me. All the sudden my engine started like my foot is on gas instead of the brakes, i pushed on the breaks as hard as i can without any response, i hit the car in front of me. This is the first time that it happen. I drove the car this afternoon, it is driving fine. I went to a parking lot and i applied the breaks then pushed gas at the same time, the car did not move. My breaks are fine. I don't know what happen and why it happened, but i know for a fact that my breaks ewre fully applied, and the car was at a complete stop before it moved on its own. Skid marks were visible, but the car kept moving.*ak |
