What owners wrote
Driving soul down highway when another car came across the highway- three lanes, from a private drive in front of me to access turning lane. I hit his rear driver side with my front left drivers side. Air bags did not deploy. Car was totaled.
I was driving along the highway when I heard a clicking noise. After the noise, my car started to lose acceleration. No matter how hard I pressed the pedal, it just wouldn't go above 5MPH and began making a loud noise. Had it checked out and it was determined to be the catalytic converter.
