Failure Date: 10/29/2020

October 29,2020 I was traveling down a highway when I noticed traffic was stopped and when I went to apply my brakes the pedal went all the way to the floor and I had nothing not even a light came on to notify my of an issue. I also tried to apply the emergency brake and it snapped and at that point I had to leave the road way to avoid hitting any cars or anyone, and in doing so iwent towards a ditch and ramped a driveway. We have ;looked into the recalls and its the same parts we are having trouble with on this truck and why it caused me to wreck. Hydro boost system, and the emergency brake system. The codes that I pulled from the NHTSA. These all are whats has happened with my vehicle. 04v376000 05v161000 05v043000 if you need any additional info please let me know I have a video I tried to send from the homeowners security camera of the truck ramping his drive but it was too large to upload and I have to get another copy of the police report if you would like that.
