WHEN USING CRUISE CONTROL ON FREEWAY BRAKES ARE APPLIED FOR NO REASON CAUSING THE CAR TO COME TO A SUDDEN STOP AT FREEWAY SPEEDS

SOMETIMES WHEN GOING OVER A BUMP BREAKS MAKE A GRINDING NOISE. SOMETIMES I DO NOT HAVE TO GO OVER A BUMP. ABS AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS COME ON DAILY AND FOR MOST OF THE DAY. HAD A SHOP CHECK THE BREAKS AND THEY SAID THEY ARE FINE. AT LEAST THEY ARE NOT WORN DOWN. WHAT IS CAUSING THIS NOISE? IT IS KIND OF SCARY. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR ALMOST A YEAR BUT THIS COMPLAINT IS DATED FOR TODAY AUG 8 2018. WHEN THE LIGHTS FIRST STARTING COMING ON MY CAR ACTING LIKE I WAS TAPPING THE BREAKS 4 OR 5 TIMES BUT THAT PART STOPPED A FEW MONTHS AGO.

I HAVE HAD THE BRAKES AND ROTORS REPLACED AND STILL HAVE A REALLY BAD SHAKING AND VIBRATION IN THE CAR

I HAD A LOW IMPACT CRASH AFTER I APPLIED MY BRAKES AT APPROXIMATELY 2-300 FEET BEFORE THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. MY TIRES ARE GOOD AND THERE WERE NO INDICATOR LIGHTS ON MY DASHBOARD PRIOR TO THE CRASH. I SLID APPROXIMATELY 100 FEET INTO A CAR STOPPED ON THE HIGHWAY, BECAUSE OF A PRIOR ACCIDENT IN MY LANE. WHEN I BEGAN APPLYING THE BRAKES, I WAS TRAVELING 60 MPH. I TRAVELED ANOTHER 4-5 SECONDS INTO THE BACK OF A VEHICLE. NO AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. I WAS UNABLE TO STOP THE CAR! I THINK SOMETHING MALFUNCTIONED. THE COLLISION CENTER MECHANIC WHO IS WORKING ON MY CAR, TELLS ME THAT IF THERE WAS NO INDICATOR LIGHT PRIOR TO THE CRASH, THEN THERE WAS NO CODE THROWN TO THE EVENT DATA RECORDER. THEREFORE, HE SAYS THE ONLY THING HE COULD DO IS TEST DRIVE IT AFTERWORDS AND TRY AND DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. AFTER THE ACCIDENT, AND WE TRADED INSURANCE INFORMATION, I DROVE HOME, 60 MILES AND THE THE BRAKES WORKED FINE. WHY DID THEY FAIL THIS TIME?

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHRYSLER 300. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ABS LIGHT ILLUMINATED WITHOUT WARNING AND WOULD NOT CUT OFF. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 14,000.

THIS WAS A RENTAL CAR. WHEN STARTING TO BRAKE, MY SHOE CAUGHT ON THE FOOT WELL WHICH INTERFERED WITH MY BRAKING. THIS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES. THERE WAS AN EXTRA SNOW MAT INSTALLED BY THE RENTAL COMPANY, WHICH I REMOVED. AFTER THAT IT ONLY HAPPENED ONCE. THE FOOT WELL IS DEFINITELY NOT DESIGNED TO ALLOW PROPER TRANSFER OF A FOOT FROM ACCELERATOR TO BRAKE ESPECIALLY FOR BIGGER SIZED FEET. THE PEDALS ON THE MODEL I WAS DRIVING ARE NOT ADJUSTABLE. I HAVE SEEN ONE OTHER SIMILAR COMPLAINT ON THE INTERNET, THAT USER REMOVED THE FLOOR MAT TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. *TT
