Owner complaint summary

I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE 11/3/19, TRADED IN MY 2016 MITSUBISHI FOR 2019 MITSUBISHI OUTLANDER. 3 DAYS LATER MY LIGHTS WENT OUT AND I TOOK THE CAR TO VICTORY MITSUBISHI DEALERSHIP IN THE BRONX AND THEY SAID IT WAS A LOOSE FUSE. THEY TIGHTED THE FUSE AND MY LIGHTS CAME ON. ON 11/26/19, I WAS ON THE CROSS BRONX HIGH WAY IN TRAFFIC AND DROVE BUT COULD NOT STOP THE CAR. MY BRAKES FAILED. I GOT OFF THE HIGHWAY AND CALLED THE POLICE AND GEICO. THE POLICE DID NOT COME AND I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO JUNIORS AUTOMOTIVE CENTER IN THE BRONX. MY GEICO ADJUSTER WILL INSPECT THE CAR ON 12/4/19. I SHOULD NOT BE GOING THROUGH THIS. I KNOW MY CAR WILL EVENTUALLY BE REPAIRED BUT I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THE CAR.
