| Description of the problem | My wife was parking car pulling into space at aprox. 5mph ,she applied brakes and pedal went too the floor without stopping, the continued to travel over cement stopper onto main thorough fair, she was able to stop by throwing car into park. She restarted car and brakes were ok.. We brought car to dealer , they kept car for one week and could not find nothing wrong i showed them 5 other complaints with the same problem they said nothing could be done if car not repeat problem. We traded car for fear that this would happen again possibly killing ourselves or some innocent bystander. This is a very very dangerous matter and should be investigated further. |
