2000 Volkswagen Beetle brakes problems

While driving on a highway at 65 miles per hour, I attempted to turn the cruise control off. It did not go off. Then I applied the brakes and the brake pedal went all the way to the floor with no tension. There was no braking action at all. I drove along some grassy areas on the side of the highway to slow the car, turned off the ignition because the car was no decelerating, and hit a tree at about 50 MPH. The airbags did not go off. The car was totalled.

Tl* the contact owns a 2000 volkswagen beetle. The contact stated while driving 25 MPH, the driver depressed the brake pedal but the vehicle would not stop. The driver forced the gear shift into the park position and the vehicle stopped. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer for inspection. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 100,000.
