Consumer Description

I HAVE OWNED CAR SINCE NEW. ALL SERVICE PERFORMED BY SAME DEALER ON TIME. ALL REPAIRS DONE AS SUGGESTED BY DEALER. AIR BAGS RECALL PERFORMED IN 2006. NEW BRAKES WITHIN 6 MONTHS. DRIVING TO MY WIFE"S WORK (AIRPORT) ON SAME ROUTE FOR 38 YEARS (37 MILES FROM RESIDENCE). I OBSERVED RED LIGHT AND CARS STOPPED 100 YARDS AHEAD 1/4 MILE FROM DESTINATION. I APPLIED BRAKES SEVERAL TIMES TO NO AVAIL. I TOLD MY PASSENGERS THAT I COULD NOT STOP AND APPLIED BRAKES SEVERAL TIMES AGAIN. BRAKES DID NOT GO TO FLOOR. IT FELT AS THOUGH CRUISE CONTROL WAS ON - IT WASN'T. I AVOIDED A FEW CARS BY STEERING TO CURB AND SIDEWALK. I OBSERVED A LIGHT POST ON SIDEWALK AND HAD TO TURN INTO TRAFFIC HITTING TWO CARS. A MOTOR POLICEMAN WAS DIRECTLY BEHIND ME AND SAID NO BRAKE LIGHTS CAME ON. NO AIR BAGS DEPLOYED AND LEFT SIDE REAR PASSENGER'S SEAT BELTS FAILED. CAR WAS TOTALED. MY TWO PASSENGERS (MY WIFE AND HER CO WORKER) WERE TAKEN BY AMBULANCE TO HOSPITAL. *TR
