Your car was hit from behind while stopped, and it unexpectedly accelerated on its own. The airbags didn't deploy, and your brakes didn't respond at first—even when you pressed the pedal hard. When the brakes finally worked, there was a significant delay (62-100 feet) before the car slowed down, forcing you to swerve to avoid other vehicles. After restarting the car, it operated normally with no warning lights. The issue may require diagnostics of the brake system, accelerator controls, and airbag sensors to identify why they didn't function properly during the collision.
