| Description of the problem | My mother and i were out and about on a friday 5/1/15 as we got ready to leave our location. I place my foot on the brakes and put it into reverse, then ever so slightly put my foot on the gas paddle, then the truck suddenly accelerated back at a high rate of speed and hit another truck in back of me, before it came to a complete stop. No one was injured -no police were called as it was on private property. Both vehicle were damaged. I then took the vehicle to a local mechanic the next day and was told that the rear and front break pads needed to be replace and if i had not brought it in when i did i would have needed rotors as well. There was no sound that the breaks were going bad, and there was no warning signals of any kind. This is a very high safety issues as people lives are at risk. Thank god my mother and i are okay. |
