When the brakes were applied in a panic stop pedal was normal, and vehicle experienced extended stopping, causing a collision which resulted in injuries. Also, airbags did not deploy. The dealer and manufacturer have been notified and will not cooperate at all.

Transmission would fail to shift into gear. Would be slipping each time. The "hold" light on instrument panel would come on & stay while vehicle is operational. The pvs light comes on also. When applying the brakes to come to a stop, vehicle would shake.
