Daughter indicated at time of accident that vehicle would not slow down when brakes were applied. Figured operator error at time however, may have been wrong especially in light of recall information. Note. Weather was fine the day of the accident, no extreme cold. Vehicle was on dirt road, coming down a hill when she allegedly tried to slow vehicle down.

While parking and applying the brakes pedal would not depress. The accelerator pedal would not move and steering wheel locked up, causing driver to hit a crub and then a parked vehicle. The air bags did not deploy in the crash. The vehicle was towed to the dealer's body shop for repairs.
