I was driving and the person in front of me had hit their brakes due to the cars in front of them hitting the brakes due to a red light. I then hit my brakes as well and the car didn't stop, I pumped the brakes a few times and still had no brakes. My husband had panicked and pulled the emergency brake and the car still did not stop. My car then hit the vehicle in front of us which in turn cause a chain reaction for the other 3 vehicles involved. If my brakes would not have failed, I would have been able to stop in time before smashing into the back of the vehicle in front of me. My car is now a "total loss" and I am out of a vehicle. I am just glad that no one was seriously hurt.

I was driving at about 35 MPH on a road that has a speed limit of 45 MPH. I went to stop for a line of traffic when I pushed my brake pedal the brake went to the floor. It didn't even slow me down. I hit the SUV in front of me then my car (with my foot still on the brake) accelerated forward and hit the SUV again and again before coming to a complete stop. I have had my car into the dealership 3 prior occasions to get the same condition fixed. I bought my car from said dealership, brand new, a little over a year ago.
