When driving 55 mph another vehicle stopped in front of the consumer's vehicle, causing the consumer to hit a dump truck from the side. When applying the brakes, the brakes locked up and pedal went straight to the floorboard. Also, brakes were very soft, and the vehicle spinned around due to the consumer losing control of the steering. This is the second time the brakes locked up, causing an accident. Vehicle has been in the shop six times for brakes, and the dealer can't determine the problem.
