Brakes were applied vehicle suddenly accelerated. ,. . .
While coming to complete stop by pressing abs brakes, vehicle suddenly accelerated and hit a stonewall. Dealer has been contacted. Please provide further details. Consumer has taken photographs of vehicle/ wall and ground, showing no tire marks.
Rear brake drums made a noise. When applying brakes,they grab and pull, making vehicle jerk. Also, front brakes would grind, and stopping distance increase when brakes are applied. Contacted dealer ,and dealer stated there was a technical service bulletin on vehicle, but consumer can't get adequate information.
The brakes screetch when applied. The sound is particularly startling if the brakes are applied quickly. This sound is not the "wear sensor" sound (dealer checked brakes and said they are fine). This sound is different than the standard squeky brakes you hear on some cars and is very concerning. The windshield would rattle while driving (dealer put in a gasket and sound stopped).
