I was driving between 40-45 mph coming to an intersection. Traffic light was red and some cars waiting. I took my foot off the accelerator and put it on the brake pedal while approaching the stopped traffic. I tried to brake but the pedal went soft to the floor. I was driving a 2008 Cadillac Dts , and I hit the car stopped in front of me. There was a failure in the braking system. My car has about 5,000 miles on the odometer. I am reporting this to my Cadillac dealer on mon 22 of Feb, 2010. The air bag did not deploy. No known injuries to occupants of the other car. I sustained high blood pressure and was taken by ambulance to wellstar cobb hospital emr. I returned home that afternoon, but the next morning I have soreness in neck and chest.
