MY MAZDA B3000 PICKUP WOULD NOT STOP AT A RED LIGHT CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. WHEN I ENGAGED THE BRAKE THE FRONT END SHOOK AND THEN THERE WERE NO BRAKES. THE DAY OF THE ACCIDENT THERE WAS A LIGHT RAIN BUT I HAD NOT DRIVEN THROUGH ANY PUDDLES, THEREFORE I DON'T THINK IT WAS DUE TO "WET" BRAKES AS I HAVE

I HAVE NEVER HAD A VEHICLE THAT WOULDN'T STOP AND I FEEL THERE IS SOMETHING MECHANICALLY WRONG. I HAD OVER 2 CAR LENGTHS AND DUE TO THE FACT THIS IS A FAIRLY NEW VEHICLE, THERE IS NOT REASON IT SHOULD NOT HAVE STOPPED PRIOR TO IMPACTING ANOTHER VEHICLE. *JBRead more
