What owners wrote
I was involved in a chain reaction collision on I-10 interstate. My vehicle re-ended another vehicle and neither the driver's nor the passenger's air bags deployed. Front end damaged and insurance has totaled my car. Brakes did not seem to stop with sufficient force.
Disc brake pad separation resulted in severe rotor wear and loss of brakes on all four wheels. Low mileage on vehicle, 19k, original brake pads. Replaced rotors and brake pads, old parts available.
