2/11/22.While at a complete stop, foot on brake, my truck started creeping forward and I kept pushing on the brake and I couldn't stop until my truck ran into the back of a semi trailer. After shutting truck off, and starting again, it appeared to work again. My 7 year old grand daughter was with me and she heard me yelling, "I can't stop, I can't stop". It has not been confirmed by dealership because it has to go collision shop on 2/14/22. No Warnings came on my dash.

BRAKE FAILURE. BRAKE PEDAL WENT COMPLETELY TO THE FLOOR AND VEHICLE DID NOT STOP UNTIL IT HIT A TREE. I PRESSED THE BRAKE, STARTED THE CAR. THE BRAKE PEDAL DID NOT FEEL ABNORMAL. WITH MY FOOT STILL ON THE PEDAL, I PUT THE VEHICLE IN REVERSE. THE PEDAL IMMEDIATELY WENT SOFT AND COMPLETELY TO THE FLOOR. SINCE I WAS IN MY DRIVEWAY ONLY PLANNING TO MOVE THE VEHICLE BACK ABOUT 3 FEET, I DID NOT CLOSE THE DOOR. WHEN THE VEHICLE DID NOT STOP, ITS DOOR CAUGHT A TREE AND BENT BACKWARDS INTO THE FRONT FENDER. THE VEHICLE STOPPED BECAUSE THE DOOR CAUGHT THE TREE. THE ONLY WARNING DISPLAYED ON DASHBOARD WAS THAT THE DOOR WAS OPEN AND THE CAR WAS NOT IN PARK. AFTER INCIDENT I TURNED ON POWER TO VEHICLE WITHOUT STARTING TO RECORD THE MILEAGE ON THE VEHICLE FOR MY INSURANCE COMPANY AND THAT IS WHEN THE LOW BRAKE FLUID WARNING CAME ON. *TR

I THOUGHT FOR SURE THAT INSURANCE COMPANIES DISSECTED VEHICLES IN SUCH MAJOR ACCIDENTS AND BEING NOTIFIED BY THE OWNER THAT THE EQUIPMENT WAS FAULTY THAT THEY DID NOT DO A POST MORTEM. MY GIRLFRIEND GOT A BROKEN BACK IN THE INJURY, HAD TO HAVE SURGERY AND WILL MOST LIKELY BE IN PAIN FOR THE REST OF HER LIFE. I COULD NOT WORK OR LIFT ANYTHING OVER 6 MONTHS UNTIL MY STERNUM HEALED ITSELF AND HAD TO LIVE THROUGH PAIN WHILE I HEALED. I STILL FEEL A SMALL FEELING IN MY CHEST.*JB
