2017 Alfa Romeo Giulia Brakes Problems

“While on the highway stuck in traffic, it was a stop and go at very slow speeds. When resuming the acceleration (while in normal from the dna ). I slowly began to accelerate, when I pressed the breaks the feeling on the pedal was abnormal and the car did not stop causing me to hit the vehicle in front of me. It felt as if the breaks did not fully engage, the car just kept going while only pressing the breaks which I repeat again felt as if they did not fully engage. All this happened while going at a very low speed no more than 20mph. No one was hurt as all this happened at a very slow speed. …”
