I'M PRESSING THE PETAL REPEATEDLY AS HARD AND AS FAST AS I CAN TO GET THEM TO WORK BUT THEY ENDED FAILING AND I RAN INTO SOMEONE AND WENT THROUGH THE TOLE BOOTH AND ROLLED STOPPED 80 YARDS AFTER THE CRASH BECAUSE THE BRAKES STILL DID NOT WORK AFTER THE CRASH .WITH AIRBAG NOT DEPLOYING. IT WAS A VERY TRAUMATIC EXPERIENCE, I NO LONGER FEEL COMFORTABLE IN A VEHICLE I WAS SO HAPPY WITH MOMENTS BEFORE THIS HAPPENED.
