What owners wrote

This is the 3rd time the car has died. This is what happened when it died today. Car was being driven by my son on his return from the doctor office. He was driving approximately 30MPH and slowing down for an upcoming slope and 90 degree right turn. As the car headed down the slope, it suddenly lost power. He was unable to brake, or turn the wheel. Being unable to stop the car he hit a tree head-on. This deployed both airbags even though he was alone and pretty much demolished the car's front end.
