AROUND 11:30 AM, I WAS DRIVING SOUTH ON A TWO LANE ROAD, AT APPROX. 25 MPH. THE BLACK VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME APPLIED THE BRAKES AND STOPPED. I WAS ABOUT 4 CAR LENGTHS BEHIND THE BLACK VEHICLE WHEN I QUICKLY APPLIED THE BRAKE PEDAL. THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR AND MY CAR DID NOT STOP NOR EVEN SLOWED DOWN. I PUMPED THE BRAKE PEDAL TWO MORE TIMES, AGAIN, AND THE CAR DID NOT STOP NOR SLOWED DOWN UNTIL I HIT THE BLACK VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME.

I WAS ENTERING FREEWAY ON RAMP. HEAVY TRAFFIC. BEAUTIFUL DAY, DRY ROADS. VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME MADE BRAKED SUDDENLY. I QUICKLY APPLIED MY BRAKES. MY BRAKES DID NOT ENGAGE. I WAS APPROXIMATELY 2-3 CAR LENGTHS BEHIND VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME AND TRAVELING 25 MPH. WHEN I APPLIED BRAKES, MY CAR DID NOT EVEN TRY TO STOP, IT BASICALLY SLID 2 1/2 CAR LENGTHS INTO REAR OF VEHICLE. MY VEHICLE ONLY STOPPED MOVING BECAUSE IT WAS STOPPED BY VEHICLE IN FRONT.

TRUNK LID WILL NOT STAY UP, IF VEHICLE IS ON THE SLIGHTEST UPGRADE WHEN YOU OPEN THE TRUNK IT COMES BACK DOWN AND HITS YOU IN THE HEAD. I HAVE BEEN HIT 3 TIMES NOW AND MY WIFE WAS HIT SO HARD WE TOOK HER TO THE DOCTORS TO HAVE HER CHECKED FOR A CONCUSSION. I HAVE HAD THE DEALER ADJUST THE TRUNK LID BUT IT STILL COMES DOWN ON YOU WHEN IT SHOULD NOT. WHEN YOUR BENT OVER TRYING TO PUT SOMETHING IN THE TRUNK OR GET SOMETHING OUT OF IT YOU DO SEE IT COMING, AND IT HURTS. *TR
