What owners wrote
While backing out of a parking space very slowly, looking both directions, the car suddenly accelerated and flew across a busy street into a store front. Three persons were slightly injured and the car was considered totaled as well as the main front window of the store.
I was driving home from the dr. S and noticed that the brake pedal was making this loud noise and the pedal went almost to the floor but it had a crunchy noise and I knew that the brakes were not the same when I left my house. I pulled over and got out and noticed that the brake fluid was low and I had to go buy DOT 3 and put it in the master cylinder. I kept driving it until I could find out what it was an was told that I needed a brake booster, but the car only has 87,546 mile's on it.
