What owners wrote
Was driving downhill, it felt like it started going faster even though the brake was pressed. Brakes seem not to respond & speed kept on increasing. Unable to stop it crashed into a wall, went throw down hill inside the property & end up inside a pool. 3 people were injure, one adult, 2 children. Adult has broken bones.
I was approximately 2 1/2 cars length apart from the car in front of me. When I saw the traffic light begin to change from yellow to red, I quickly put on my brakes, but the car did not slow down or stop; it accelerated instead. I kept my foot all the way on the brake pedal, but the car still did not slow down or stop. I brace myself for the impact because I knew that it was unavoidable to hit the car in front of me. It finally stopped when it struck the car in front of me.
