Description of the problem	I was stopped at a stop sign, start engaging the clutch to go into first gear and i hear a crack. I am in first gear and as i am about to shift into second gear i am unable to do so. I notice that the clutch pedal has no pressure and it is near the brake pedal. From here on i was not able to shift into any gear. So after further inspection i see that the brake pedal is broken and can easily move from left to right. I am just glad that i was on the street because i was on my way to catch the freeway. This is very dangerous and has to be fixed, something bad could have happened and to think i have been driving the car on the highway for long trips is very scary.
