What owners wrote
As we were getting the highway the breaks had failed and then we some were able to get off the highway but the steering wheel cruise control decided it was gonna work by itself it was a very accident. And not only that my identity has been affected so bad because of the situation with mission and the dealership that I’m unable to use my name for anything anymore my credits ruined and now they want 18 grand for me to pay off the vehicle that’s they purposely made the car look like a rebuild so it was no longer…
My car battery was lose and I was driving and the car shut off in traffic. I went and popped the hood and noticed that the battery was lose and I moved it in place and the car turned on. Upon me being in a rush to get traffic going again the hood latch didn't work, and when. I went on the highway the hood went up to my windshield and damaged my hood, corner panels, smashed my front windshield, and I haven't fixed the hood because it's very expensive. It happened on the highway. In the fast lane.
