Adaptive Equipment problem #1

The sbc pump stop working causing the brakes to not work this is a very dangerous defect in there design and I could see if causing an accident and injuries. The manufacturing knew this was a defective design and had offered an 10 year warranty but I feel it should be replaced on all cars that have an sbc pump, I was traveling 65 mph on the freeway when I had to apply the brakes and the brakes did not work if it was not for my quick thinking and being able to switch to another lane there would have been a major car pile up with who knows how many injuries.
