Description of the problem | While driving in regenerative brake mode and coming up to a stop light, i let the regenerative brake to slow the car to around 10 km/hr then applied the normal brake to slow down the rest of the way. The brake pedal did not engage whatsoever. I did not feel any resistance and the pedal went all the way to the ground. Because i couldn't stop, i hit the car in front of me - low speed so luckily no one was hurt. There were no warning lights about brake failure either before or after the incident occurred. Pedal was floored and there was no acceleration, only mild deceleration (i. E. Still from the regenerative brakes presumably) thus i am quite confident this was not a case of pedal misapplication. |
