| Description of the problem | I was parking the car (after turning around and reversing) and as i applied the brakes to ease into the parking spot the brakes and car just stopped functioning. I depressed the brakes further and absolutely no response. The car moved forward at a slow speed and went up the curb, toppled a small tree and knocked a parking kiosk over on the sidewalk. Fortunately it was 8:10 am so nobody was walking on the sidewalk. Airbags did not deploy. Some damage from the metal kiosk and tie rod broken from curb. Very disconcerting that i lost complete brake power. Could do nothing as the car just continued to move forward until an object caused it to stop. No confidence in the car..... |
