More specifically, as I try to engage the brake, the brake pedal just loose all the way and the brake just not engage when the brake pedal at maximum. This happens 2-3 times already, and my car is new.”

The vehicle jumped the parking block and ran over the sidewalk, skidded the road, and crashed into a tree, where it came to a stop. The driver’s and passenger’s side air bags did not deploy.
