What owners wrote

I was on the road pack saddle in jonestown tx 78645, when I pulled on to road 1431. A large truck with a crash guard hit me on the driver's side @ 60MPH. The accident turned my car into a horse shoe, and senjt me into on coming trafic. All of the air bags were activated and saved both me and my wife but, the residue that came with the activation pepperd me in the face and ruined my glasses. If I had not had my glasses on,I would have lost my vision due to such.

While driving, the gas pedal became unresponsive and the orange wrench symbol came on. I pulled over and shut the car off. I attempted to restart the car. The car restarted and I was able to continue driving as normal. This problem has occurred approx 4 times. Each time with the same presentation and each time I was able to restart the car.
