What owners wrote
I was following my wife out of the subdivision to work at approximately 06:40. I went through 3 stop signs with no apparent problems breaking. When my wife stopped at the 4th sign, my break peddle went to the floor and I hit her rear end at approximately 5 MPH. There scratches and dents in both bumpers. I crept back home at 5 MPH and attempted to stop at all three stop signs. The car stopped slowly, but the break peddle went to the floor each time. I had the car towed back to the dealer for inspection.
I pulled in driveway with foot on brake proceeded to try to put vehicle in park. When I hit the button, my foot went to the floor and the car dashed forward, causing damage to the car and the garage door, frame and wall. My dealer said it couldn't happen and would not look at the vehicle.
