What owners wrote
On 10/15/16 I was in a multi impact accident. After hitting a curb, small tree, took a stop sign out, my car landed into a tree in between two 10 in. Bushes. As the car seemed to settle I immediately smelled a chemical odor. I then saw a small white what I thought was paper appear on the inner steering wheel, suddenly blood was pouring down my face where I could barely see. I thought the car was on fire because of the smell. It did not smell like gas but more like sulfur.
I'm not sure the exact date but I know one day I was driving fine and then later that night I went to get gas and my car was acting funny and not wanting to go forward in drive until it kicked back and then went.
