2012 DODGE DART Complaints

I PURCHASED THIS CAR USED FROM A KIA DEALER. I HAVEN'T EVEN HAD IT ONE MONTH YET. WHILE DRIVING ONE DAY BACKING OUT OF A PARKING SPACE MY BRAKES WOULD NOT STOP. I WENT TO PUSH DOWN ON THEM AND IT FELT LIKE I WAS TRYING TO PUSH DOWN A BRICK. IT WOULDN'T BUDGE. YOU COULD HEAR AIR AS YOU HIT THE BRAKE BUT NOTHING ELSE. A BRAKE LIGHT POPPED UP ON THE SCREEN FOLLOWED BY A CAR WITH A SWIRLY LINE BEHIND IT. I ALMOST BACKED INTO SOMEONE AND ALMOST WRECKED MY CAR. THANK GOD MY KIDS WEREN'T WITH ME AND NO ONE WAS HURT. *TR

I THINK DODGE SHOULD COVER THE REPAIR COSTS.
