Vehicle's new braking system was unsafe. Brake pedal had to be depressed almost to the floor before it engaged. As a result, the consumer accidentally hit the accelerator pedal while braking. The consumer's wife was driving the vehicle, and as she turned the corner, the brake was applied and did not respond. The vehicle accelerated over the curb, onto the side walk, and into the library.
