Description of the problem | I was driving in the highway at approximately 30 mph and accelerating when suddenly my minivan brakes by itself. It was like someone else was controlling the brake pedal for me. It was horrifying. It pulled over and waited until i was ok to drive again. I continue driving and again when i was accelerating the brake pedal went all the way down and braked to almost a complete stop. I decided to keep on driving to get to the nearest safest place to park and call for assistance and the same thing happened two more times until i parked and turned off the vehicle. I had to call for a relative assistance getting back home because i was driving with my three children and i didn't want to endanger them. My husband took the minivan home and it didn't do it again. I haven't drive it since i'm terrified it can do it again when i'm driving in the highway at high speed and cause and accident that can be fatal to my family, other drivers and me. |
