Nar 03-24-2003 mr. When the consumer hit the brakes, the vehicle veered to the left and the pedal would go down low. The consumer took the vehicle to the dealership on several occasions and because the problem was never fix, the consumer was involved in a collision due to the brakes failing when the consumer needed to come to a stop.
