What owners wrote
I was pulling into a parking spot in a shopping parking lot and stepped on the brake to stop, but the brakes failed and the car kept going and would not stop, ultimately rolling up over the curb onto the grass area and crashed into the concrete light post.
Warning light on dashboard board goes on and off constantly indicating rear brake light needs attention. When warning light is on, brake light does not work. When warning light turns off, brake light works. This happens when car is on and constantly at random times even when I'm stationary. Also, when I'm stopped, car tugs like it wants to accelerate.
