Description of the problem | While traveling at about 5 mph, i experience a total brake failure. The petal dropped to the floor. I was unable to stop the vehicle resulting in a rear end collision with the stopped vehicle in front of me. It was determined that a brake line ruptured. I was under the impression that it was a law that vehicles of this year had a dual braking system to avoid this situation. If this vehicle does have such a system it did not function. The vehicle had to be towed from the scene since it had no brakes. |
