 Description of the problemThe incident occurred on or about thursday, april 10th 2019 at 12:10am. It involves the brakes of the vehicle not being able to stop the vehicle at low speeds. The entire incident was captured on a high-quality front-facing dashboard camera with audio, video, and gps. There were no injuries. Description of the incident is as follows: while i was on the interstate 10 west freeway in redlands, ca, i maneuvered to the most right lane on the highway in preparation to approach an exit less than 1 mile away (university ave.) due to lane closures (left lanes) at the time i was on the freeway, traffic was bumper-to-bumper and very low speed. While in the most right lane and still at very low speed, i engaged the adaptive cruise control feature on the vehicle. Within around 5 seconds of engaging the adaptive cruise control, the vehicle slowed down to a stop because of the vehicle in front of mine had stopped. At that point, the cruise control feature self-disengaged as normal. Only a few seconds later, the vehicle possibly abnormally vibrated. As the vehicle continued to creep forward in traffic as normal, i applied the brakes to stop, but the vehicle would not stop or slow down. As i nearly approached colliding with the vehicle ahead of me, i engaged the parking/emergency brake with my foot, and that did not seem to slow or stop the vehicle either. A second attempt to engage the parking brake did nothing as well. Within a few seconds, the car almost slowed to a stop due to rolling friction and a slight uphill grade in that portion of the freeway. I placed the vehicle in park at this time and restarted the car. After restarting, i was able to drive and brake properly the rest of my short journey home. This entire episode is captured on my dashboard camera, and it seems others on the internet have complained about this issue as well.
