MY VEHICLE'S BRAKES FAILED RESULTING IN REAR-ENDING THE CAR IN FRONT. THIS HAPPENED ON A FREEWAY GOING STRAIGHT AT 10 AM. MY VEHICLE WAS MOVING AT ABOUT 20 MILES/ HR WHEN I STEPPED FORCEFULLY ON THE BRAKE PEDAL AS THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME SLOWED BUT I DID NOT LURCH FORWARD, MY SEAT BELT DID NOT TIGHTEN TO PULL ME BACK AND MY BAG PACK THAT WAS ON THE FRONT PASSENGER LEATHER SEAT STAYED WHERE IT WAS. MY VEHICLE BEHAVED AS IF I HAD NOT BRAKED. WHEN I STEPPED ON THE BRAKES, I COULD SEE ASPHALT BETWEEN MY VEHICLE AND THE VEHICLE IN FRONT. MY VEHICLE'S FRONT BUMPER, GRILL AND HOOD WAS DAMAGED. THE VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY IN FRONT OF MINE HAD DENTS ON THE REAR BUMPER AND THE TRUNK. THERE WAS A THIRD VEHICLE IN FRONT OF THE ONE IN FRONT OF MINE THAT WAS ALSO DAMAGED, HOWEVER, I DO NOT KNOW THE EXTENT OF THE DAMAGE. THE IMPACT OCCURRED AT A LOW SPEED WHICH DID NOT CAUSE MY SEAT BELT TO TIGHTEN AND DID NOT CAUSE MY BACKPACK ON THE PASSENGER SEAT TO SLIDE FORWARD.

I WAS DRIVING MY VECHICLE YESTERDAY THAT WAS JUST IN THE SHOP SINCE SATURDAY SAYING THAT THEY REPLACED EVERYTHING THAT WAS WRONG BECAUSE PREVIOUSLY MY BREAKS LOCKED UP ON I-95 AND I COULDN'T STOP. I GOT THE VECHICLE BACK YESTERDAY AND I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK AND MY BREAKS FAILED AGAIN CAUSING ME TO REAR END THE PERSON IN FRONT OF ME. I COULD NOT STOP. ABSOLUTELY NO BREAKS!! THE VECHICLE WAS IN MOTION TRYING TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. I BELIEVE THE ABS BREAK ACULATOR / MODULE IN THE VECHICLE IS BAD. THE COMPANY WHOM I BOUGHT IT FROM I BELIEVE SHOULD TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS ACCIDENT CONSIDERING THEY'RE THE ONES WHO STATED THEY FIXED THE VECHICLE

I BELIEVE THE DRIVER WAS GOING FASTER THAN HE CLAIMED ON THE POLICE REPORT (INCLUDED). WE COLLIDED IN THE INTERSECTION FRONT-LEFT-TO-FRONT-RIGHT. MY CAR WAS SPUN AROUND ABOUT `50 DEGREES TO THE RIGHT, ENDING UP ACROSS THE SIDEWALK. BOTH VEHICLES WERE TOTALED. THE OLTHER DRIVER'S AIRBAG DEPLOYED AND HE RECEIVED A CUT ON HIS FOREHEAD. MY TAKATA FRONT AND SIDECURTAIN AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY, AND I WAS THROWN INTO THE DRIVER'S DOOR, BREAKING FOUR RIBS, A VERTEBRA, SHOULDER BLADE AND MY COLLARBONE. IN THE REBOUND TO THE RIGHT, MY RIGHT WRIST AND RIGHT ARM JUST ABOVE THE WRIST WERE BROKEN. THE FRACTURES WERE SET UNDER ANESTHESIA, AND I SPENT 8 DAYS IN THE HOSPITAL AND ABOUT 7 WEEKS IN A CONVALESCENT/REHAB FACILITY. I AM NOW UNDERGOING WEEKLY OT FOR WEAKNESS, LACK OF MOBILITY, AND PAIN IN MY RIGHT HAND AND WRIST, AND POOR MOBILITY AND PAIN IN MY RIGHT SHOULDER.
