Description of the problem | I was turning left on a busy road out of a parking lot and had all three of my kids in the car with me. My emergency brake turned on without any warning and stopped my car heading east/west in traffic heading north/south. My foot was on the gas trying to get out of the way and suddenly the emergency brake turned off and my car sped forward into the traffic. I was able to swerve to the side and get out of the way of other cars before any accidents were caused. This is extremely dangerous and could have killed myself and all three of my children. |
