## Narrative
At dusk I was driving below the speed limit (40 MPH). I was at least 3 car lengths  behind the vehicle in front of me when i saw the driver was braking because his brake lights came on and there was an intersection ahead with a stop light.  There were at least two cars ahead of the vehicler I was behind.  I braked but the car kept on going and appeared to accelerate.  I was unable to stop the car with the brakes and collided with the car ahead.  It was a sturdy vehicle with a strong bumper so I did not do much damage, if any, to the vehicle but my car requires $6,645.90 of repairs. No one was hurt and the air bags did not deploy.  I was wearing my seat belt.  There was no warning from ny vehicle that I was getting too close to the vehicle ahead and my car made no attempt to brake automatically.  It was as though all warning indicators were not functioning.  I have had two other incidents of the car surging ahead but did not report it because no one else was involved and I was able to correct the speed and I thought it was just my imagination.
