While pulling into the apt. Parking lot the brakes failed and the steering wheel locked, there was an alert on the control screen but I am not sure what it said.

There were no physical injuries and only one person (tom) was involved in the accident. The police were called and the officer stated that the brakes felt "mushy. " no tickets were issued. Still waiting for a adjuster to view the cars involved. The car was purchased new in Aug. And was taken back to the service center twice within a month.
