Tried to stop at intersection and brakes did not work. Kept pushing down on brake with both feet still could not stop. I slammed into back of a truck at intersectioncausing bad damage to my car. I want Ford Lincoln motor co. To payfor damages and repair my car. It was not my fault and I should not have to pay for car to be fixed what about liability insurance? it will also raise my insurance now because everyone thinks it was my fault.
