Description of the problem | 2005 fx 35- i was t-boned, proceeding to stop and had no brakes at all. Car has been checked and found no damage to brakes/lines everything checked out fine. I could not stop the vehicle and went through an intersection. I finally stopped the vehicle by hitting the side of a tree. Prior to that i turned key off and placed into park, i couldn't take my eyes off road i was approaching another major intersection. I did not want to hit anyone or be hit again. I am concerned, i have 2 children and even after vehicle is fixed, will my brakes fail again. I did slam on my brakes after being hit, they went down to floor, i kept trying and trying.... No brakes. I have read that some of the 2003 have had break failure. Please help. |
