Hey everyone, I just experienced a scary thing today, and was curious if anyone else has experienced the same.
I was driving my CX-5 in a subdivision, and after stopping at a stop sign, drove up to maybe 40 km/h reaching the next stop sign less than 200 feet away, and as I depressed the brake pedal, it felt similar to what traction control would do, but quicker and not as loud, and the accelerator kept going. I couldn't stop the vehicle even after stomping hard on the brake. I had to shift into neutral before I could come to a stop in the middle of the intersection.
Now, roads were wet, but I was not going very fast, and there was no floor mats to get in the way. And my foot was not pressing both brake and accelerator as if I did, once in neutral the engine would have revved up very fast.
Vehicle is at the dealer right now, and I filed a vehicle defect complaint with Transport Canada. Just wondering if a one off or if more people had experienced this and not reported it.
Thanks in advance.
