Traveling on freeway at approx. 20-25 mph. In stop and go traffic, approx. 4pm. The car in front of me stopped suddenly, I attempted to brake hard, but the brakes did not respond. I then attempted to steer to the side but I could only go so far. I had the feeling that I lost power. I could not get out of the car after impact because the power locks did not work. I was told that the head lamp was embedded into the battery.
While traveling on freeway at 50 mph consumer was exiting ramp when brakes stopped working, consumer had to swerve and hit a brick building at 30 to 40 mph. Brakes finally did kick in, and it did slow vehicle down a little before hitting a brick wall. Upon impact, airbags didn't deploy, consumer states that it felt as if the brakes caused the vehicle to accelerate.
