Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING EAST BOUND ON THE 105 FWY AND WAS KEEPING A SAVE DISTANCE GOING AT APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH SINCE TRAFFIC WAS STOP AND GO, WHEN TRAFFIC STOPPED ON FRONT OF ME. I STARTED TO APPLY THE BRAKES WITH LITTLE TO NO RESPONSE AND COULD NOT STOP IN TIME TO AVOID A COLLISION WITH THE VEHICLE ON FRONT OF ME. A FEW MINUTES BEFORE AND PRIOR TO ENTERING THE FREEWAY I HAD FELT SOMETHING SIMILAR ON THE STREET AND THOUGHT IT WASN'T AN ISSUE, HOWEVER THE BRAKES FELT AS IF THEY WERE NOT RESPONDING. THE BRAKES BEGAN TO RESPOND ONCE AGAIN AND I PROCEEDED TO CONTINUE TO DRIVE. AFTER THE ACCIDENT I THOUGHT THAT THIS MAY NOT BE AN ISOLATED INCIDENT AND THOUGHT OF REPORTING THIS INCIDENT TO MAKE SURE IT'S ADDRESSED FOR FUTURE SCION TC OWNERS. MY CAR IS NOW A TOTAL LOSS AND MY INSURANCE DIDN'T COVER IT. I'M NOW SEEKING FOR AN ALTERNATE VEHICLE SO I CAN CONTINUE MY INTERNSHIP/WORK EXPERIENCE. *TR
