What owners wrote
While going into a parking space, I attempted to engage the brakes, the brake pedal depressed entirely to the floor, and the brakes did not engage. As the result, my vehicle dropped approximately 15 feet over a retaining wall to a lower parking lot landing nose first onto the pavement of the parking area below. The airbag deployed and the vehicle ultimately landed on all four tires, rolling forward until I was able to stop the vehicle by engaging the emergency brake.
