Brake system Seatbelt came out of latch Approaching a red light and stopped traffic, applied brakes and no response. Ended up rear ending another vehicle. Resulting in injury to driver of malfunctioning vehicle and possible injuries to other passengers in the other vehicle . Don’t know if the vehicle is available. It was deemed totaled. It’s Unkown if there’s been any inspections as of yet. There was some kind of audible notification that occurred when driver applied brakes right before collision
I was in an accident. The other car hit me at least going 60 mph into my drivers door. NONE of my airbags deployed in the accident. My car could not move and was totaled from the accident. I was injured with a TBI from the car accident. I received no help from the manufacturer at all.
My car is shaking over 60 MPH and when I turn the steering it's making a noise . The dealer is refusing to fix it the same day . They said if I drop it off today it will take 3-5 days . So I asked for a loaner and they said no . And the next same day service I can get is aug 17 . Which is 8 days from today .
While driving the parking brake engaged itself. There was no light on instrument cluster. An the parking brake had to be engaged an disengaged to continue driving. Speeds were slow. City road. Possibly dangerous if at a faster speed.
