Consumer Description

MY 17 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING MY 2003 LEXUS IN TOWN. WE HAVE NEVER HAD ANY PREVIOUS SIMILAR INCIDENTS, AND HAVE NOT EXPERIENCED THE SAME THING SINCE. SHE HAD STOPPED AT A STOP LIGHT, BUT WAS TOO FAR BACK, SO SHE WANTED TO PULL UP A LITTLE. SHE TOOK HER FOOT OFF THE BRAKE, AND THE CAR MOVED FORWARD. SHE REPEATEDLY PUSHED THE BRAKE, BUT THEY DID NOT WORK. THE CAR STOPPED WHEN SHE HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF HER. I HAD THE CAR CHECKED AFTER THE ACCIDENT, BUT THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING OBVIOUS. HOWEVER, SHE, AND THE OTHER PASSENGERS, HAVE VERIFIED THAT SHE REPEATEDLY PUSHED THE BRAKE TO NO AVAIL. *TR
