What owners wrote

I was exiting out of a parking lot in town and traffic was back up and at a standstill. As I attempted to turn left a car tried passing the stopped traffic in a no passing zone. The vehicle hit the front of my car, totaling it. The bumper was on the ground , radiator sideways, hood crinkled, fenders destroyed. My airbags did not deploy. The car that hit me was going fast and caused major damage. Taylorville police department police report number 15-341

Reported at 88,000 miles, October 2015 CrashInjury

As I was driving down the interstate highway, I heard some wind so I checked window button, I then heard door alarm go off and as I attempted to exit highway on an exit ramp the door swung open!! My passenger had to physically hold it close as best she could until we found a safe place to stop to see if we could identify the problem. We tried many times to close it but could not get it to latch.
