Description of the problem | I was trying to park my 2012 chevrolet cruze car in a parking place. I turned into the parking spot and when i placed my foot on the brakes, nothing happened. I looked down at my foot and watching myself repeatedly pump the brakes. Instead of stopping, my car went over the parking spot yellow curb, over a sidewalk and some grass, and i hit a parked vehicle. Before i hit the vehicle, i luckily turned my wheel, causing less damage to the parked vehicle. After i hit the vehicle, my car turned back into the parking lot where it finally stopped. I am not sure if it stopped because of me repeatedly pumping the brakes, or that i finally ran out of momentum, since i had not hit the accelerator since before trying to park. My bumper is damaged, had to have car towed because i am too afraid to drive it. My 5 year old daughter was in the backseat, in her booster seat, during all of this, and i am afraid thinking of how worse it could have been, with the brakes not working. I found out after the fact that there was a recall for this year and model car for the brakes, and that recall was before i owned the car. |
