WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AT ABOUT 80 MPH, THE VEHICLE'S BRAKE MALFUNCTIONED AND I COULDN'T PRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL; IT WOULD NOT EVEN GO DOWN. THERE WERE 2 CARS DRIVING AHEAD OF ME ON THE LEFT LANE, THEREFORE, I TRIED TO PASS TO THE RIGHT LANE BY CHECKING WHETHER THERE WAS ANY SPACE BECAUSE THERE WERE 2 TRUCKS BEHIND ON THE RIGHT 2 LANES. LUCKILY, I COULD PASS TO THE RIGHT LANES AND FINALLY TO THE SHOULDER TO TRY TO SLOW DOWN. THEN, I DROVE THE CAR TO A NEARBY ROADHOUSE AREA AND I STOPPED THE CAR THERE BY HANDBRAKE. THIS WAS REALLY UNBELIEVABLE AND TERRIFYING. THEN, THE VEHICLE WAS CARRIED BY A TOW TRUCK BACK TO ANKARA, AND THE CAR MECHANIC CHECKED THE CAR, WHERE THEY DETERMINED THAT A PART INSIDE THE BRAKE VACUUM MOTOR WAS TOTALLY BROKEN, AND THAT COULD HAVE CREATED A FATAL ACCIDENT,

ON MARCH 24, 2018 AT APPROXIMATELY 11:30 AM I WAS TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY (FLORIDA TURNPIKE NORTH) AT AROUND 70 MPH WITH MY WIFE AND CHILD, AND SUDDENLY THE BRAKES STOPPED RESPONDING ON MY LAND ROVER EVOQUE. THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS HARD AND COULD NOT BE PRESSED, IT WOULD NOT RESPOND. WE WERE ABLE TO LOSE SPEED, MERGE TO THE RIGHT OF THE HIGHWAY, AND COME TO A STOP ON THE SHOULDER. NEITHER BEFORE, DURING NOR AFTER THE EVENT, HAD ANY WARNING LIGHTS SHOWING ON THE VEHICLE'S DASHBOARD. WE CALLED OUR DEALER AND THEY SUGGESTED TO HAVE THE SUV TOWED TO THE NEAREST DEALER. WE HAD THE SUV TOWED WITH AAA TO THE DEALER. THE DEALER'S MANAGER DID NOT SEEM WORRIED OR SHOCKED AT THE TERRIFYING EVENT MY FAMILY AND I HAD JUST EXPERIENCED. IN FACT, HE DID NOT EVEN OFFER AN APOLOGY. DID NOT PROVIDE A LOANER OR RENTAL VEHICLE. VEHICLE WAS LEFT FOR THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT TO LOOK AT ON MONDAY. MY FATHER HAD TO DRIVE 211 MILES TO PICK US UP FROM THE DEALER AND DRIVE US BACK. MONDAY THE ANALYSIS CAME BACK AS A TEXT THAT READ: 'THE VACUUM PUMP SEIZED UP AND BROKE ONE OF THE INTAKE CAMSHAFTS. TO FIX THIS WE HAVE TO REMOVE THE TOP PART OF THE ENGINE AND REPLACE ALL PUMP, CAMSHAFT, TIMING GUIDE AND TENSIONER AND ALL THE ONE TIME USE GASKETS AND SEALS. THIS IS A LENGTHY JOB. TO DO THESE REPAIRS WOULD BE $5,532.10+TAX.' (ATTACHED IS THE EMAILED QUOTE WE REQUESTED) WE HAVE PHOTOS, VIDEOS, EMAILS, DOCUMENTS, AND TEXT MESSAGES EVIDENCE OF THE PREVIOUSLY DISCUSSED.

MY FIRST INCIDENT I WAS APPROACHING AN INTERSECTION WITH A STOP SIGN. I SLOWED DOWN TO STOP AT THE STOP SIGN AND WHEN I HIT THE BRAKE THE CAR ACCELERATED THROUGH THE INTERSECTION. I COULDN'T STOP OR CONTROL THE CAR AND THANKFULLY AVOIDED WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN A MAJOR ACCIDENT. THE SECOND TIME JUST MINUTES AFTER THIS OCCURRED, IT HAPPEN EXACTLY THE SAME WAY. I SLOWED TO STOP AT A STOP SIGN AND WHEN I HIT THE BRAKE THE CAR ACCELERATED RIGHT THROUGH THE STOP SIGN.
