Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY IN MY BRAND NEW DODGE JOURNEY THAT WAS PURCHASED LESS THAN 2 WEEKS AGO, ALL THE VEHICLES CAME TO A STOP AND WERE STATIONARY. MY CAR INCLUDED WAS STATIONARY OR STOPPED. WHILE WAITING FOR TRAFFIC TO GO, MY FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKE WHEN MY CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATED (WAS IN MOTION) AND STARTED TO MOVE FORWARD. MY FOOT WAS STILL ON THE BRAKE WHEN THIS OCCURRED. I CONTINUED TO PUSH DOWN THE BRAKE AS HARD AS I COULD AND PUMP THE BRAKE TO MAKE THE CAR STOP BUT IT FELT LIKE THE BRAKE PEDAL WOULD NOT GO DOWN. MY BRAKES DID NOT WORK AND THE VEHICLE IN FRONT ON ME ENDED UP STOPPING MY CAR. I PULLED OVER TO THE LEFT SHOULDER OF THE HIGHWAY AS MUCH AS I COULD AND PUT MY CAR IN PARK AND CALLED HIGHWAY PATROL. *DT*JB
