What owners wrote
Weather conditions - snowing, hard packed snow. When driving, the vehicle pulled off to the right. I turned to turn the wheel to the left to gain control, and the vehicle caught some ice, causing the vehicle to spin and lose control. It rolled over on the highway and came back onto its wheels into the ditch. The vehicle then collided with a tree. The steering wheel hit me in the chest with the sudden stop. Neither air bag deployed during the crash and was I believe a manufacturer's defect.
While driving 7 MPH front driver side support bracket snapped. This caused the vehicle to run off the road. Driver sustained back injuries. Dealership was notified, but did not resolve the problem.
