Friday the 12th was leaving work got stopped by a red light a again when the light turned green i took off i was going about 35 mph when i looked to my right their was a car coming off the off ramp and not stopping when i applied the brakes again they would not go down felt the same way like there was a brick under my foot. Had to slam into the curb to avoid being hit on the side. Took car to the dealer ship they say there's nothing wrong wants me to pay for new rim and tire for 320 dollars. I have read a bunch of the same things happening to other people and nothing has been done needs to be looked into before some one gets killed. |
