Elantra

  • 17,000 miles
While driving, my car started to make a beeping sound I had not heard before. I looked at the dashboard and the multi-media system and I did not see any warning indicators/lights. When I stopped at a red light I put the car in park, turned the car off and turned the car back on (push to start). I proceeded to drive again and the car began to beep that unfamiliar sound again. Still no visible warning indicators/lights. I pulled over, put the parking break on, put the car in park, turned the car off and then turned the car back on. I began to drive again and the car was no longer beeping. While driving I stepped on the break pedal with the intent to slow down because of slowing traffic, my car did not slow down. I slammed on the break, the car still did not slow down and I hit the car in front of me. After I hit the car in front of me my car was still pushing, I stepped on the break again and the car felt as if it was still trying to push forward, I pulled the emergency break and the car stopped. A police officer was already on the scene, then notified us park police to come and take a report.
