The contact owns a 2006 Pontiac Vibe. While the contact was driving approximately 15 mph, the brakes failed to respond during engagement. The vehicle speed began to increase and it would not slow down; suddenly an opposing vehicle crashed into the front passenger side of the vehicle. The impact of the crash caused the radiator hose to burst. A police report was filed with no personal injury. The vehicle was towed to the dealer who refused to repair the vehicle under a manufacturers voluntary recall. The vehicle had not been repaired. The failure mileage was 29,236. The VIN was not available.

I accelerate in anticipation of a hill on ca-13 in oakland California. When I near the crest of the hill, I take my foot off the gas, as the acceleration continues and the revs shoot from ~3000 to ~4500 - 5000. I need to switch the car to neutral to correct this. Nothing else seems to bring down the revs. I do this drive once a day and have since 2006, it happens maybe every 2 months, so maybe 1 in 50 times I go over this particular hill. I believe the combination of downhill, acceleration, and uphill messes up the throttle controls somehow.

I was driving my 2006 Pontiac Vibe South on interstate 79 in rural pennslvania when the brakes soundly failed to respond. I stepped on the peddle but the car failed to slow, and the cruise control failed to disengage. To avoid an hitting the car in front of me, I swerved into the shoulder, continuing to apply the brakes. As I tried to slow, the car fishtailed and I skidded into the interstate again and hit the opposite guardrail. Antilock brakes did not engage. Finally, when I crashed, the car's airbag failed to deploy, despite the entire front end of the car caving in (resulting in a total loss of the car). Fortunately, I was wearing my seat belt and did not strike another vehicle, so none one was hurt, but the car was a total loss.
