What owners wrote
I was driving my normal route and coming up on my right turn. The dashboard lights and all interior lights of my car went black and I was unable to steer my car. Within seconds I tried to brake. My pedal went directly to the floor and my brakes never engaged. I had no steering and no brakes going 55MPH (forcing me through a red light). I was t-boned by a SUV at 60MPH (no skid marks for either of us)- a full impact crash.
