What owners wrote

Brakes failed to work when going over bumpy roads, aslo brakes do seem to wrok as\ design (to stop) when immediate action is required. I press the brakes when trying to stop and avoid an accident howver the brakes did not appear to work and the car jst kept on going as I the brakes did not exist. I press hard with more than adequate time, however the brakes did not even slow down the vehicle. Something should be done before someone gets seriously injured.
