I WAS DRIVING AROUND 30MPH, AND THE CAR STARTED TO BUCK. AS I APPROACHED THE INTERSECTION, I PRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL TO THE FLOOR, AND THE CAR DID NOT SLOW DOWN AT ALL. THE BRAKES FAILED, AND STEERING BECAME VERY DIFFICULT. MY ROAD WAS ENDING, SO I ATTEMPTED TO MAKE A LEFT. I TRIED TO STEER THE VEHICLE TO THE SIDE AND HIT A TREE WITH THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE. *TR
