What owners wrote
I was driving approximately 30 - 40 MPH on the freeway. I went to make a lane change, looked over my shoulder to make sure lane was clear, as I turned back, the car in front of me stopped. I put on my brakes, there was no response from my brakes, they disengaged. My car surged forward and hit the car in front of me. My seatbelt did not have any tension, therefore, my body hit the steering wheel. Nothing has been done. The accident just happened.
