Consumer Description

I WAS DOING A PARALLEL PARKING ON A QUIET CITY STREET. I WAS DOING 3 OR LESS MILES PER HOUR WHEN SUDDENLY MY BRAKES FAILED AND MY CAR CONTINUED TO GO! IT RAN INTO THE SIDEWALK AND SOME BUSHES. I WAS HORRIFIED NOT BEING IN CONTROL ANYMORE. I TURNED OFF THE ENGINE WITH MY KEY. THE FRONT OF MY CAR HAS BEEN DAMAGED A LOT. IT IS AT A MECHANIC AND BODYWORK SHOP. I WOULD LIKE TO BE ABLE TO SUE THE MAKER OF MY CAR. *TR
