I'm not sure what exactly happened, the vehicle is pending investigation. I attempted to stop the vehicle, pressing the brakes down as hard as possible, and the vehicle wouldn't stop. The other vehicle was hit from behind at a light I was probably going around 40 MPH. Also, when we first bought the vehicle it had a habit of turning off while driving. Finally got that fixed. It turned out to be the master power cylinder or something like that.
Total integrated power module my van was having problems starting they lacked intelligence by telling me it was because I needed a tune up and some other minor fixes 2 days later it won't start again.
