The accident happened in the house-attached garage. I already entered the garage, and the car is almost stopped. Then i need to hit the brake thoroughly to fully stop the car. I hit the brake pedal however the car accelerated suddenly, jumped ahead and crash into the house wall. Even though everything happened in a second, i'm sure that it it the larger pedal(which is the brake) i engaged with in that second. I have…

I was on a decline on the off ramp, and when i went to stop for a lite, my brakes would not stop my car. I tried to stop, and felt as if the car sped up.

Shortly before my crash my breaks would screech, and i thought it to be durt on my breaks, or break dust. I had taken the car to a recommended break shop to get my…

My car seems to be accelerating as opposed to braking when i apply brake at very low speeds (around 20 mph). I noticed it first in october 2014 and thought it was random incident or my misjudgment. Later that year and in the following year my wife complained about the same thing when she was driving. Fortunately we haven't had any accidents or crashes in this vehicle so far.

I was approaching a four way stop at the appropriate speed limit of 35mph before the impact. As i was getting closer, i went ahead and decelerated. I've had problems with the brakes in the past. As i got closer to the stop sign, in a blink of an eye, i was being dragged by a large chevy heavy duty truck across the intersection. The airbags did not deploy either. The impact completely dismantled my front end. After…

I came to an intersection and stopped, then took my foot off the brake before noticing that the light was still red. The other vehicle was roughly 30 feet away when i pushed on the brakes. I should have easily been able to stop. Brakes did not engage and i had been pushing them so hard and for so long that i fractured my ankle. There were not even skid marks at the accident scene. My car had front end frame damage…

It kept happening and i took it back and they drove and felt nothing. Finally, i was driving back…
