What owners wrote
The consumer was approaching an intersection and without warning, another driver cut in front of the consumer vehilce. The driver applied the brakes, but the pedal went to the floor. This caused the other vehicle to collide into on the passenger 's side and pushed the vehicle into a tree. Both frontal air bags did not deploy. The driver sustained injuries and was transported by ambulance to the hospital. The vehicle was towed to the dealer. Please fill in additional information.
Brake system failed while driving. Brake pedal immediately went to the floor while driving at about 35 MPH. Pumped brakes to get slowed down and eventually stopped. Exited vehicle on drivers side door and found fluid puddle under the drivers side of the vehicle. Upon pumping the brakes while stopped, I noticed brake fluid squirting out under the drivers side door. After towing the vehicle home, I have confirmed a severely corroded metal brake line has rusted through and broken open.
