Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING THRU A PARKING LOT AFTER PICKING UP MY LUNCH, THE FOOD BEGAN TO FALL WHICH I TOOK MY EYES OFF DRIVING TO CATCH IT. WHEN I LOOKED UP I SAW LIGHT POLE IN FRONT OF ME AND WHEN I PUSHED MY BRAKES, IT FELT LIKE THE PEDAL WENT STRAIGHT TO THE FLOOR. ITS LIKE I PUSHED SO HARD I OVERPOWERED THE SYSTEM. WHEN I BACKED AWAY FROM THE POLE THE BRAKES FELT FINE. I HIT THE POLE WHICH IN TURN CAUSED COSMETIC DAMAGE ALONG WITH BREAKING THE STEERING BOX BECAUSE THE TIRE HIT THE CEMENT BASE. ALSO WE FOUND THE BRAKE FLUID LEVEL SENSOR HAD BROKEN AT THE FLUID RESERVOIR. *TR
