What owners wrote

On 1/12/12 at about 545am I was driving to work on a rainy day. While traveling on 95 north bound at about 55MPH my wiper blades stop working and so did my steering wheel. My steering column was not controling my wheels and I hydroplained while trying to stop my car. My car spun around numerous times before slamming into the median wall. I have had many malfunctions with this vehicle but this one topped them all.
