“Braking system failed while attempting to stop at 40-45 MPH. While braking, the pedal went to the floor and warning lights were noticed. This failure LED to a 2 vehicle accident where 1 person was possibly injured. The emergency brake was needed to slow the car, though the spin out as a result of the accident ultimately stopped the vehicle. After the incident, the ABS was inoperable tcs off??, and the brake warnings were lit and remained lit. The cause of the failure at this point is unknown and a determination should be made later in the week.”
