What owners wrote
Driving in the far left lane on the interstate at roughly 55 MPH I attempted to avoid a drifting car as I corrected the steering wheel and accelerator failed to respond. As a result I struck a vehicle stopped on the shoulder of the interstate. The airbags in the other vehicle deployed. The airbags in my vehicle did not deploy. The front end collision was bad enough that the SUV was declared a total loss. The adjuster also found that the firewall had split and appeared to be faulty.
While driving home, my vehicle began to make clunking noises, while in the process of exiting the highway, for safety reasons, the car cut off on the exit ramp. Before attempting to restart the vehicle; a passerby shouted that the vehicle was on fire. Upon exiting the vehicle the police were on the scene and extinguished the fire. The vehicle was then towed to a local body shop to await a tow to my place of residence.
