What owners wrote

I was slowly crossing three traffic lanes and turning left. No one was coming from the right, so I applied the throttle in the inside lane and nothing happened. The car stalled without warning. It left me in the road and I was t-boned in the driver's door. The other driver was injured, and I have had neck issues. We could have both been killed. The car had stalled once before. I had the car two months with 2,400 miles and now it was declared totaled. I requested the black box to be removed and reviewed.
