I was in line at school when my brakes went out. We took it to the dealership, but they told us that it was the master cylinder. I think now after watching the story on the news that it was the brakes that did not hold. I think all cars need to have this interlock brake on them. I want to know how I can get interlock brakes on my van. If I had of known that my van did not have that on it I would have brought another type van. #even our insurance company said that this was the safety van. Please help.
