2010 Chrysler Sebring Brakes Problems

MY SON WAS DRIVING FORWARD UP A HILL. WHILE DRIVING THE CAR STARTED ROLLING BACKWARDS WHILE IN DRIVE GEAR. THEN WHILE THE VEHICLE DECIDED TO ROLL BACKWARDS IN DRIVE GEAR HE WAS UNABLE TO STOP. SINCE MY SON WAS UNABLE TO STOP HE PUT THE CAR IN PARK THE VEHICLE STILL CONTINUE TO ROLL BACKWARDS. AS A RESULT MY SON JUMPED OUT OF THE VEHICLE AND THE VEHICLE ROLLED DOWN THE HILL AND HIT A TREE AND BOULDERS. HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY FOUND NOTHING WRONG. HOWEVER A WITNESS SEEN WHAT WAS HAPPENING TO MY SON IN DISBELIEF. THIS VEHICLE IS VERY UNSAFE FOR ANYONE TO DRIVE,

DRIVING INTO WORK ON JUNE 27, 2016 AT 7:45 AM I PROCEEDED OFF THE HIGHWAY RAMP AND MY BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON I PUSHED THE BRAKE AND PRESSED THE EMERGENCY BRAKE THINKING SOME HOW THAT WILL HELP; HOWEVER IT DIDN'T AND AFTER ABOUT 10 MINUTES IT WENT OFF. I WENT TO WORK AND IT WAS FINE. AGAIN THIS MORNING JULY 7 AT 8:20 THE SAME THING HAS HAPPENED THIS MORNING AND NOW MY BACK BRAKES ARE SQUEAKING.

I HAVE A 2010 SEBRING CONVERTIBLE TOURING THAT JUST HAD THE BRAKES COMPLETLY REPLACED FROM THE CALIPERS TO THE ROTORS. WHEN THE BRAKES ARE APPLIED, THERE IS A VIBRATION THAT WAS PRESENT PRIOR TO THE REPLACEMENT. DESPITE STILL BEING A NEW BRAKE SYSTEM, IT STILL VIBRATES. THE VIBRATION WILL CEASE IF YOU BRAKE HARD.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHRYSLER SEBRING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH, THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO DECELERATE BUT THE BRAKES FAILED TO RESPOND. THE CONTACT HAD TO SWERVE TO AVOID A COLLISION AND THEN CRASHED INTO A LIGHT POLE. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A PRIVATE MECHANIC WHERE THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE REPLICATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED ABOUT THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 10V009000 (SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC).
