| Description of the problem | My car was stopped at a red light behind at least 2 other cars at around 4:45 p. M. On 9-8-14. My engine suddenly started racing and pulling my car toward the car sitting in front of mine. I already had my foot on the brake because i was stopped. I pressed even harder on the brake as the car took off out of my control. The brakes stopped working and my car crashed into the rear of the vehicle in front of mine. |
