## Narrative
Just purchased a 2024 Dodge Hornet for my daughter on [XXX]  She was involved in an accident on [XXX].  Cause of the accident was brake failure - as a result of said failure, she stuck a fuel truck going 45 mph on a highway offramp.  Airbags did not deploy, seat belt did not lock.  Why did this happen on a brand-new vehicle with under 500 miles on it.  A witness, who was travelling behind my daughter at the time, corroborated that the Dodge Hornet's brake lights were illuminated/functioning right up to impact with the fuel truck.  There were also no skid marks from the tires leading up to the collision.  Very frustrated and disappointed that my 21-year-old daughter was subjected to a faulty 53k vehicle, and hope that other families do not experience the same, or worse results when purchasing a similar vehicle for their children. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
