SERVICE BRAKES
LIVING ONLY 3.7 MILES FROM MY WORK I DRIVE TO WORK 2 TIMES DAILY, MON- FRI, ROUND TRIP. I COME HOME FOR MY LUNCH HOUR. NEVER BEING ABLE TO DRIVE FASTER THAN 20-30 MPH DUE TO THE ROADS & BUSYNESS OF THEM DURING THAT TIME I HAD NEVER HAD A PROBLEM BEFORE. I HAD NOTICED PRIOR TO MY ACCIDENT THAT AT TIMES MY 6 SPEED 2011 KIA FORTE KOUP WAS VERY RESISTANT TO PUT IT INTO 1ST GEAR. ALMOST AS IF IT WAS LOCKING THE SHIFTER OUT. HAVING IT LOOKED AT BY A KIA DEALERSHIP, THEY CLAIMED IT WAS JUST "USER ERROR"...PERHAPS MY FOOT WASN'T PRESSED ALL THE WAY DOWN ON THE CLUTCH OR B/C I'M A WOMAN? THIS WAS NOT MY FIRST MANUAL CAR! SO AS I LEFT MY HOUSE FOR WORK AFTER LUNCH I NOTICED THAT EVERY TIME I UPSHIFTED MY CAR DID THIS JERKING THING, ALMOST AS IF THE BRAKES WERE WORKING WHEN THEY SHOULDN'T HAVE BEEN. I TOLD MYSELF WHEN I GET TO WORK (IN 8 MINS) I WOULD CALL MY BROTHER WHO IS A MECHANIC. I DIDN'T GET MY CAR TO WORK SAFELY. I ENDED UP REAR ENDING A TRUCK WHO ROLLED FORWARD INTO A NEW CAMARO, EVERYONE WAS OK THANK GOD! AS I APPROACHED THE STOP LIGHT W/3 CARS STOPPED AT THE RED LIGHT ALREADY. I PROCEEDED TO SLOW DOWN .3 MILES FROM THE LIGHT & IT SEEMED AS IF IT WAS SLOWING DOWN IN SLOW MOTION. WHEN I REALIZED MY BRAKES WEREN'T ACTUALLY SLOWING THE CAR DOWN FROM 28MPH, I DID EVERYTHING I COULD TO STOP BY CAR BEFORE CRASHING. I TRIED DOWN SHIFTING AS WELL AS SLAMMING DOWN ON THE BRAKES. IT WAS AS IF MY BRAKES WERE NON EXISTENT. IF I HAD TIME LEFT I WOULD HAVE YANKED UP ON THE E BRAKE...I WAS ONLY 1.2 MILES FROM MY WORK! NO AIRBAGS WENT OFF NOR WAS MY CAR TOTALED. I PAID CASH FOR THIS CAR IN 2011 & SINCE HAVING WRECKED I'VE FELT IT WAS NOT SAFE FOR MY FAMILY TO DRIVE. AFTER FIXING THE REPAIRS & PAYING MY DEDUCTIBLE I TRADED THE CAR IN. I PURCHASED A BRAND NEW CAR WHICH I NOW HAVE A CAR PAYMENT ON. I HOPE THAT THIS ISSUE CAN BE DISCOVERED & RESOLVED BEFORE IT HURTS ANYONE SEVERELY. *TR
