On december 8th, 2018, i was driving eastbound on interstate 10 in phoenix, az at approximately milepost 141 around 5:45 pm. Suddenly, i heard a large, *bang* which sounded like a gunshot. I immediately checked myself for injuries and felt the car to determine if a tire was blown. I was intact, and the tires seemed ok as well, but i heard the noise of air escaping from the vehicle. After turning south on i-17, i…

While pulling into a parking slot in a parking lot, which was on a slope, i applied the foot brake without any response whatsoever. The vehicle gained enough speed to jump the small stop-curb and hit a concrete wall next to it. The damage to the front of the car was just over $4000. I thought i had missed the pedal.

As i am walking around the prius, loading and unloading for example, that sharp corner seems to…
