I USED ALL MY STRENGTH ON THE BRAKE PEDAL AND THE CAR RESPONDED BY GOING FASTER. TO AVOID A COLLISION, I SWERVED TO THE RIGHT INTO A CONVENIENCE STORE DRIVEWAY. HOWEVER, I HIT THE BUMPER OF THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME AND THIS FINALLY STOPPED MY CAR. I READ ON A WEBSITE THAT THIS IS NOT AN UNCOMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL. WHY HAS THERE BEEN NO RECALL TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM? *TR
