What owners wrote
On february 11, 2006, I was driving not far from my house, when my vehicle suddenly lost control. We rolled five times before we hit the first tree. We went right over that tree. Then we rolled another three times before we were stopped by a chain link fence with a eucalyptus tree. My airbags did not go off. My vehicle was totaled.
