While driving the master cylinder failed which caused the driver to run a red light and hit a curb. The vehicle was in motion, when all of a sudden there were no brakes and no power steering. On the first occasion, the vehicle had run into the pharmacy parking lot curb and grass to slow down. The consumer requested a new vehicle and or refund. The dash display kept going out, several functions of programming did not work and the CD player had to be replaced twice.
