We were in stop and go traffic on the highway for just over a half hour with my two young children in the car. Speeds below 10 miles per hour. At the time of incident, we were traveling between 5-7 MPH. Tried coming to a stop with about 10 feet between our car and a big rig in front. The brakes wouldn't egange. Repeatedly stomped on the brake pedal between 5 to 10 times. Car break would not engage and we rolled into big rig bumper. This gave us a chance to power down the car with the push/start button.
