Consumer Description

I WAS TRAVELING ABOUT 30 MILES PER HOUR WHEN I HAD TO STOP FOR A VAN AHEAD OF ME. I TOUCHED MY BRAKES AND THE PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. NO BRAKES AT ALL. BECAUSE OF OTHER TRAFFIC, AND NO TIME, I HIT THE VAN IN THE REAR. NEITHER OF THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. THE GENTLEMAN IN THE VAN HAD TO GO TO THE HOSPITAL. I HAD A BUMP ON MY LEG, AND MY BROTHER WAS NOT HURT. I JUST NOW HAVE HEARD OTHER STORIES OF THE SAME PROBLEM GOING ON FOR YEARS. THIS IS NOT RIGHT. *JS
