During Driving Car Stops

[scratch serbia]

I have new C3 Feel and I have pass with it 1.700 km. So far I had two very unpleasent situations with this car. Both times while I was driving up to hill, when I wanted to change the gear from 5 to 4, car immediatelly starts to brake itself, ABS was activated while it was braking. I could not put the gear in 4, because all three pedals (break, steering and power) were blocked - I couldn't press them. So, car from the speed aprox. 80-85 km/h stops. Engine is still working while the car is just sitting on the road. After shutting off the car and turning it on everything is working perfectly.

 

I have take car to two official car repair services for Citroen and they register nothing on diagnostic - none mistakes, none suddenly braking. For Citroen my car is perfect, they have told me. 

 

After second stop and unpleasent talk with both garages I tried to test the car. Aprox three hours I was driving it, changing gears, braking suddenly and nothing happened.

 

Now, I am afraid to drive this car, both times I was very lucky not to have been crushed from other cars.

 

Did anybody have similar situation?

Welcome to the forum.

 

Have you got a floor mat that can move under the pedals or catch on them and stop them working properly ? You could also look at the top of the pedals to see if there is a fault or they are seized on the pivot shaft. A Citroen floor mat will fasten at the back end under the driver's seat so it can not move but other makes of mat may not do this.
