| Description of the problem | I was going around a bend and the brake pedal locked. I was unable to utilize the brakes. Due to this brake failure, i drove up on a hillside and smashed into a telephone pole. Feel that this is a mechanical defect in the car which caused the accident as the brake pedal was locked into place. The car had no known mechanical issues and was inspected in july 2014. |
