Description of the problem | Tuesday, 7/18/2017. I was coming over a small decline on local road in east brunswick, nj. I applied the brakes and came upon the traffics light and traffics ahead and the vehicle shot foreword. Applying the breaks had no effect. In fact the car appeared to accelerate. I did not have enough time to avoid hitting the vehicle in front of me which caused that vechile to hit another. My vehicle accelerated vs braking when applying the brakes. Applying the brake had no or little effect in slowing the vehicle. Is there, or has there been, reports of similar problems with acceleration problems with the buick enclave, 2015 model ?. |
