What owners wrote
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.
The consumer states when applying the brake pedal the vehicle accelerates without warning. No impact reported. Please provide additional information.
