What owners wrote

I do not know the exact details of the entire accident, as we did not yet meet the new family, but it took the life of my grandchild. She was not driving her boyfriend was. It was his mothers vehicle and it happened in another state. Las vegas, nevada. The cause listed in the accident report was a fault of the vehicle. He was following his sisters vehicle, as they just arrived in vegas and was visiting his family. The car accelerated unexpectedly and hit his sisters car then flew into a wall.

September 2014 CrashFireInjuryDeath

There is a delay between pressing the brake and braking action. This condition has existed since I purchased the car. The dealer keeps telling me that the car is okay, there is nothing wrong with it.
