“I was pulling into the driveway and put on the brake, and the brakes did not respond. The car crashed thru the garage door. I put the car in reverse, but it didn't respond. It took about 5 seconds for it to engage. Then once it engaged in reverse, it was out of my control, as the car shot back at a high speed, bounced up a curb and hit the neighbor's deck. Again, the brakes were not responding to stop the car. There were burn rubber marks showing the speed of the reverse. I felt the car had control not me. This time it also took several seconds for the car to engage in drive. …”
