Description of the problem | 2 day ago i was driving to work on the freeway and my car start acting weird like it wanted to stop, i paid no mind. So then that night coming home from work it start acting up again, this time i saw my brake lights turn on and my car started slowing fiwn. I had lost acceleration i had no response to the gas pedal. I would step on my brakes then release and the lights would go back to normal. This happened the whole 45 mins back home. So the next morning i was doing some research on what could cause this found out that the brake sensor stopper would not work properly on the kia forte. But it seems that this happen to the kia as well. It is very dengerous trying to drive like this especially on the freeway. |
