Consumer Description

WHEN I LEFT OUR GARAGE I NOTICED THAT THE RED BRAKE SYSTEM LIGHT WAS ON. USUALLY MY HUSBAND DRIVES THIS TO WORK BUT WE SWITCHED VEHICLES BECAUSE I NEEDED TO HAUL A TRAILER TO HELP MOVE MY DAUGHTER. I HAVE ONLY DRIVE THIS VEHICLE ONE OTHER TIME SO I WAS UNFAMILIAR WITH HOW IT HANDLED. I NOTICED THAT I HAD TO PRESS HARD TO STOP BUT THOUGHT THAT WAS HOW IT HANDLED. I DROVE OVER 120 MILES WITH IT THIS WAY, I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT WAS WRONG WITH IT, BY THE TIME I PULLED INTO OUR DRIVE, I COULD BARELY STOP THE VEHICLE. MY HUSBAND CAME OUT TO RELEASE THE TRAILER OUT BACK. HE GOT IN AND SAID, "WHAT'S WRONG WITH THE BRAKES?" I SAID, "WHAT DO YOU MEAN?" HE TOLD ME I HAD NO BRAKES AND I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED. IT WAS A NEAR MISS INCIDENT BUT I HAVE FOUND (AS A FORMER SAFETY MANAGER) THAT THOSE NEAR MISS INCIDENTS OFTEN SHOW A ROOT CAUSE) THAT IN THE FUTURE MEANS SOMETHING. PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF THERE EVER IS A CLASS ACTION SUIT TO RECOUP THE MONEY WE WILL HAVE TO PAY TO HAVE THIS REPAIRED. *TR
