Manual parking/emergency brake won't engage.

- Coral Gables, FL, USA

Two collisions and several other incidents where I was driving 40-60 mph, the cars in front of me suddenly braked, and I immediately braked with enough time and distance to completely stop the vehicle before colliding with the vehicle in front of me. Each time, although I slammed my foot on the brake immediately, the car felt like it was braking, but not nearly as fast or as intensely enough given the amount of pressure I was applying to the brakes and the time and distance I had to stop before reaching the car in front of me. In two of these instances, where there were cars in the adjacent lanes, I was not able to swerve away to avoid the car in front of me, I collided with the car in front of me. In other instances, I was only able to avoid a collision by swerving into adjacent lanes.
