I was traveling at a low speed in a parking lot and went to turn into a parking spot. Once pulling into the spot the brake stopped responding despite pressing. Also automatic braking did not activate. The car went up on the curb and towards the building. I continued to try to brake and turn away from the building. The front of the car clipped the building and the air bags were not deployed. Finally the car was stopped by rocks in front of the store front.

Reading this record
No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.
Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
Most recent recall on file: none. Source: NHTSA Office of Defects Investigation.
