I was driving around 30mph, and the car started to buck. As I approached the intersection, I pressed the brake pedal to the floor, and the car did not slow down at all. The brakes failed, and steering became very difficult. My road was ending, so I attempted to make a left. I tried to steer the vehicle to the side and hit a tree with the front end of the vehicle.
