“When parking and putting on the emergency brake, the emergency brake popped out, and the vehicle started rolling toward the consumer. Consumer had to run and jump into the vehicle and press down the brake to the floor, and the vehicle took off. Also, the speedodometer doesn't work, and the mileage indicator doesn't work either. Dealer took those two parts.”
