What owners wrote
Was leaving store and when pulled out onto road, I was involved in a crash! Left the scene and then was taken by private vehicle to local emergency room and from there, airlifted with brain injury! Was almost across the road and vehicle stalled and wouldn't accelerate and stalled and caused a horrible accident. The vehicle that hit me got me in passenger rear as he was traveling up highway and threw me and went air borne and knocked a telephone pole in half and done damage to front as well.
Traveling at 15 miles per hour and started to stop at stop sign, vehicle went dead and I could no stop in time and went through the stop sign. Hard to steer also. Luckily no other vehicle was approaching or an accident could have occurred. Service engine soon light came on afterwards and gave code p0335.
