I was approaching a light where a vehicle was moving but suddenly stopped because of traffic ahead. When i applied my brakes, the brake when immediately to the floorboard and there was a click. My car did not slow down but slid directly into the car in front of me causing front end damage to my car. My rate of speed was 25-30 miles per hour.
