The deterioration of the brake pedal stopper pad while driving leaving the lights illuminated and was almost rear ended.

I bought my 2015 Hyundai Elantra from the carmax in oak lawn illinois in September of 2018 and since then I've experienced a few problems with the vehicle and carmax is only telling me that it was a plastic bag on the exhaust pipe and that it will burn off on its own. I took the car into them on April 17, 2019 and today is may 14, 2019 and I'm almost positive that it doesn't take a whole month for a bag to burn off an exhaust pipe. Also I have a complaint about my brake system, when I brake the car acts like it's stalling and it makes a clicking noise as if the car is on ice and the extra brake is helping the vehicle to stop. I know this isn't supposed to happen this way. I have 3 children that travel in this vehicle everyday and I can't drive a faulty vehicle and something happens to them while driving it.
Vehicle was brought to a stop with foot still depressing brake peddle. Brakes released and car surged forward hitting the vehicle in front. The vehicle was completely stopped before lunging forward on southboud exit 185 of i95 in bangor maine04401.
I was on the beltway and the car in front of me was braking and I pressed my brakes to the floor and upon impact it was still rolling. We pulled over and I was unable to stop the car. I had to pull up the emergency brake to finally stop the vehicle.
The car was on highway and as I was getting off the car would not stop and in fact as I tried to press the brakes to stop the car would not stop until it crashed,.
I purchased a 2015 Hyundai Elantra on November 26th, 2014. The car was brand new when I purchased it. On December 23rd I noticed that my break lights would not turn off after having parked and removed the key. I was unable to get the light to turn off, but I had a trip scheduled to visit family during the holidays. I was forced to leave the car at my house in its present state. When I reached my destination on December 24th I called Hyundai (lithia springs) to tell them about the issues and to ask them how they wanted to handle this issue. The service representative told me to bring the car in on January 3rd. When I returned to georgia I brought the car to Hyundai. While driving the vehicle I could smell a strong odor reminiscent of spoiled milk. When I arrived at the dealership they examined the car and initally told me that the issue was with the break clutch not depressing properly. After the technician replaced this part he returned to tell methat he was unable to correct the issue and that he suspected it to be an electrical issue. He requested that I leave the car with him so that it could be worked on and placed me in a loaner vehicle. I received a call today (January 6th, 2015) and was told that the issue had been isolated and that the car was not sealed properly and water had caused the electrical issues I was having. Mr. Donald lampkin told me that the car would need to have the windshield removed, carpet removed, dried, and resealed. I expressed my concern with this and let him know that I wanted the car replaced immediately, to which he did not reply. He told me that Hyundai manufacturing would most likely not replace my brand new vehicle and that all he could do was try to fix the issues. I am truly unhappy and want my money back or a brand new car. I havent even driven this car 1,000 miles and not only am I without a car.
