Cold start, AC unit on, and the engine at a higher idle. Put car in reverse to back out of garage. Stepped on brake pedal and car kept rolling, so I pumped brake and pressed pedal with very hard pressure, but the car did not slow down. Panicked that I would hit a wall, I dropped car into drive from reverse. Still on high idle the car rolled forward back into the garage and still would not stop with extreme brake pressure applied. Car hit a cabinet in my garage causing considerable front end damage.

Everything happened so quickly, I couldn't understand what happened. I could only think I must have done something wrong.

Re-started the car and all functions were fine. Was able to drive the car as the brakes were functioning normally. Drove to dealer to get estimate on the repair. Continued to drive the car all functions normal. I'm waiting to schedule collision damage repair.

The brake issue raised its ugly head again. The vehicle has operated fine since the original incident even with the front-end damage. Yesterday, one week after the original incident it occurred again.

Cold start, AC unit on, and engine at high idle speed, I was leaving a restaurant and turned out of parking lot onto side street. Traffic was stopped at a light and I pulled into the left turn lane. Going very slow, haven’t even traveled 200 feet. Put pressure on brake pedal to stop and no response, the car keeps rolling forward as I applied extreme brake pressure.

At that point I hit the emergency parking brake button and the car stopped just as I hit the rear end of the car in front of me. Thankfully there was no damage to his car. I restarted the car and we pulled off the road into a parking lot to exchange information. Everything operated fine. I left the scene and headed home. When the light changed, I turned left from the side street into traffic. Heavy traffic, slow go. About 1 mile later the traffic slowed down to stop. Once again, the brakes were not responding. I was able to hit the emergency brake and ditch to the side of the road. After traffic passed, I restarted and moved about thirty feet into the safety of a parking lot. At that point I called AAA and had the car towed home. I will have it towed into the dealer this morning.
