What owners wrote
My daughter was a restrained driver on a highway ---in rush hour traffic, moving about 55MPH. The car in front of her braked suddenly and when my daughter pushed on the brake it went to the floor and she had no brakes. She clipped that car rear end and swerved right'hitting a second car as she got to the shoulder. She scrapped along the metal rail for a distance and then went off the road in to a gully and hit a pole and an dirt embankment. Both air bags deployed.
While driving 35 MPH on the parkway the car accelorated as far as it would go, brakes failed and car went out of control and side swiped another car then went on a grassy strip and came to a stop.
