What owners wrote
This is a report of brake failure that caused a vehicle collision with injuries. On october 29, 2016, I rented a 2016 toyota corolla from a betterway rent-acar, inc. D/ba budget rent a car of atlanta, at 6509 roswell rd, atlanta, ga 30328. The toyota had 21,619 miles at the time of the rental. At approximately 12:30pm I was driving southeast on jimmy carter blvd in norcross georgia. The weather was clear and sunny and the road was dry.
Vehicle was recalled 62 days ago under NHTSA recall number20v024 and no repair has been identified. For a vital safety feature such as an airbag this is unacceptable.
