What owners wrote
I was driving in my car to work on the city street (santa anita ave going north in the city of arcadia ca), within few minutes after I left the house I felt my hands get hot probably the air bag deployed and the next thing I know my car ran over the center divider and flipped over. Fortunately, I came out of the car dazed and with multiple bruises.
