What owners wrote
Driving a rented 2010 chevy cobalt lt, 4 door. Had rented the vehicle from alamo rental cars on 7/2/11 the accident happened on 7/6/11. My wife and I were driving on I-4 east just outside orlando, fla. When the driver in front of me put on his brakes, I applied the brakes on the cobalt and immediately the car was violently out of control. The car going out of control was so violent I thought we had been hit from the rear. Once the car went out of control I could not control it at all.
