What owners wrote
I was driving a new 2013 hyundai sonata in a parking area, approaching a parking space for a straight-in parking facing a building. My speed was about 10MPH. I brake continuously to slow down and stop, but nothing happened. The car went through the parking space and crashed into the brick wall facade of the building. The air bags did not deploy. The brick wall was not damaged. I had about 5 minor bruises on my right leg, and two below umbilicus (seat belt area). I also suffered from fright and emotional distress.
On december 9, 2015 I was on route 9 driving south, the speed limit is 40 MPH, I applied the brake, as a school bus was stopped in front of me to drop off a child, the accelerator was racing, I kept pushing on the brake and the car finally stopped. I was a few inches from the back of the bus. Fortunately no accident.
