Description of the problem | I was traveling about 20 miles an hour during traffic hour when i saw the car stopped in front of me. I had at least 4 car distance when i applied brakes. Normally, i can feel the seat belt tighten, cars jerking or shake due to anti-lock brake when you step on the brake hard. But this time, i did not feel the car slow down when i stepped on brake all the way down, it continue to cruise a little before it slow down, but by then, i have already hit the car in front of me. This car was serviced regularly, during my last visit 3 weeks ago, i was notified that my car is on the recall list for software update. |
