What owners wrote
I was driving to work one morning. When I got into a car accident and hit a car almost head on. As my traffic light turned red I started to break but my brakes locked up on me. Which felt like a brick. I tried to pump the brakes but it would not pump it just stayed very hard like a brick. I start to slide while not really reducing speed I turned my steering wheel a little bit trying to avoid the on coming traffic when my steering wheel locked as well causing me slide right into a car.
While driving, when trying to center the car in the lane I am driving in, the steering wheel sticks. It is for just a spilt second but nonetheless, it is sticking. Also, the car detection light on the drivers side mirror (car in your blind spot) stays on. Also get a message that says "service side detection system" dealer says no error shows up for them.
