What owners wrote
On 3/22/17 I was driving an enterprise rental car into an apartment complex and pulled in front of the leasing office to park. While stepping on the brake pedal the car did not stop and it suddenly accelerated causing the car to crash into the pillars of the leasing office with force. Airbags deployed and my passenger and I had to crawl out of the rear passenger door to escape the vehicle. We are lucky to be alive and escape with minor injuries. There are drag skid marks on the ground from the rear wheels.
While coming to a stop at a stoplight, a car come out if no where. I tried to slam on the brake to come to a stop faster but the breaking system did not react to the pedal being pressed down. I was met with a stiff pedal and I could feel the brakes pushing back which caused me to hit another car that had already entered into an intersection.
