What owners wrote

I was driving about 35 MPH on a city street when the person in front of me slammed on their brakes the first time I hit the brake and the car stopped the next time I hit the brake it was hard and didn't stop the car causing me to crash into the vehicle in front of me, the air bag did not deploy and I think it should have, causing my head to slam into the steering wheel causing me to bite my tongue in half.
