I couldn't control the car since brake were totally ineffective and failed. It was a horrifying experience which has left us indignant, i am not comfortable driving my car now even repaired by mb, ontario, canada, now my car is in mb newmarket location on mullock street, ontario, canada. They told me that the whole brake module is bad and you have to replace before driving and the cost is almost 3000/= canadian dollars.
