Car launched forward at a stop light causing it to bump the car in front of me. The brakes were ineffective and would not stop the vehicle.
I have a hard time believing that.
What is your question?
I have experienced this myself though I didn’t hit anything. In my case the cause was my left foot was under the edge of the brake pedal.
99+% of the time it’s caused by accidental application of the gas pedal or a jammed floor mat.

Back in 2008, I was a passenger in my friend’s Accord when we were T-boned by a woman driving a Lexus SUV. I heard her being questioned by the cops after the accident, and she stated “The harder I pressed on the brake, the faster it went”.
The cop softly muttered, “Yeah, that’s what happens when you get those two pedals confused”.
