What owners wrote
While driving 45-50 MPH and without warning applied brakes and anti-lock brake system did not function, resulting in a collision. Driver sustained minor injuries, and vehicle was totaled. During the accident three passengers were injured also.
My daughter was traveling north at 40 MPH, and she turned around briefly to check if her little brother was buckled in his seat belt. When she turn back around the car was on the curve and she slammed on the brakes as hard as she could to stop the car, but the car wouldn't stop and preceded to accelerate. She went through partially two brick walls, knocked down a stop and street sign, and the car flipped a couple of times. The car ended up landing on the passenger side, leaving the car left side up.
