Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: While driving on a highway at 65 miles per hour, i attempted to turn the cruise control off. it did not go off. then i applied the brakes and the brake pedal went all the way to the floor with no tension. there was no braking action at all. i drove along some grassy areas on the side of the highway to slow the car, turned off the ignition because the car was no decelerating, and hit a tree at about 50 mph. the airbags did not go off. the car was totalled. the car was sold to a junk yard because the repair costs were too high and because the repair facility said they could not determine why the cruise control and brakes failed. |
