Car accelerated from 5 mph until hit the car in front. Brake didn't work. This happened once before. Dealer insulted driver instead of a followup.
While driving the posted speed limit, I attempted to slow down in preparation for a right hand turn. I turned on my signal, and slowly began to hit my brakes. As I hit my brakes, it began to to engage and then I felt a "pop" in the brake pedal. I hit the brake a little harder and nothing happened. I then began pumping the brakes in an attempt to stop the car. My attempt to stop the car failed and I hit a parked car at 30mph. Moderate damage done to passenger front and quarterpanel of car. Door wedged into car braking some glass on passenger side. Upon impact, no airbags deployed whatsoever. I hit the windshield with my head and spidered the glass upon impact. Impact jolted the car in such a way, it snaped my inside mirror off the front windshield.
While driving approximately 35 mph consumer pressed on brakes to slow, and brake pedal hit the floor, but vehicle did not stop. This has caused vehicle to move out of control and hit a curb. Consumer and passenger sustained minor injuries.
In addition to above-key entry sporadically works, car under cover torn off two times parking in regular parking lot, chair will not stay in adjusted position and dealership represented that extended warranty covered same as factory warranty, which it does not.
