Description of the problem | While slowing down approaching a red light with the gear in l (regenerative braking), the car was in electric mode and traveling at a low speed (under 10mph and likely less than 5mph) when the passenger side front tire went into a large but shallow pot hole at which time the car felt like it accelerated (at the very least deceleration ended). My foot was already on the brake pedal (not sure if i was pressing it); however, i immediately mashed the brake pedal down as far as it would go. At first this did not seem to have any effect. After a moment, though, it finally kicked in and the car stopped immediately. I do not believe i hit the car in front of me (which was completely stopped). However, that driver wasn't sure if i did and asked for my information (there was no paint transfer or any marks on my car--there was a mark on the other vehicle which i believe was already there and the other driver wasn't sure and wanted to talk to her husband about it). Note in the later section that asks "was there a crash?" i am marking no as i do not believe there was a collision nor is there any physical evidence on my car of a collision. However, the other driver may dispute that. |
