Consumer Description

CAR WAS AT A TURNING INTERSECTION. CAR WAS COMPLETELY STOPPED, FOOT WAS APPLIED TO BRAKE WITH NORMAL PRESSURE. WITHIN A FEW SECONDS, CAR STARTED TO PROGRESS FORWARD, I LIFTED FOOT OFF BRAKE AND REAPPLIED. THE BRAKE DID NOT SENSE PRESSURE, I PUT THE CAR IN PARK. THESE ACTIONS DID NOT STOP THE CAR. LAST EFFORT ATTEMPT WAS TO LIFT THE EMERGENCY BRAKE APPLIED. THIS STOPPED THE CAR. I TURN OFF THE ENGINE AND RESTARTED THE CAR.
