I HAVE A 2005 FORD ESCAPE. I STARTED MY CAR ABOUT 10 MINUTES BEFORE I HAD TO LEAVE FOR CLASS, AND PUT ON THE FRONT AND REAR DEFROST. WHEN I GOT IN MY CAR AND STARTED DRIVING, THE REAR WINDOW IMPLODED INTO THOUSANDS OF PIECES. *TR

WHILE ACCELERATING ON AN ON-RAMP ENTERING A STATE HIGHWAY, TRAFFIC AHEAD OF ME CAME TO A STOP. I WENT FROM APPLYING PRESSURE ON THE GAS PEDAL TO IMMEDIATELY MOVING MY RIGHT FOOT TO THE BRAKE PEDAL TO APPLY PRESSURE. THE BRAKE PEDAL GAVE VERY LITTLE RESISTANCE. I DEPRESSED THE PEDAL ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR OF THE VEHICLE. MY VEHICLE CAME TO A VERY SLOW STOP AS IF I WAS ONLY LIGHTLY DEPRESSING THE BRAKE. MY TIRES DID NOT SKID AS I WOULD EXPECT AND THE VEHICLE TOOK SEVERAL SECONDS TO FINALLY COME TO A VERY SLOW AND GRADUAL STOP. THE STOP WAS SO SLOW AND GRADUAL THAT I COULD NOT EVEN FEEL MOMENTUM PUSHING MY BODY FORWARD AS USUALLY EXPERIENCED WHEN SUDDENLY BRAKING.
