What owners wrote

On 3/22/17 I was driving an enterprise rental car into an apartment complex and pulled in front of the leasing office to park. While stepping on the brake pedal the car did not stop and it suddenly accelerated causing the car to crash into the pillars of the leasing office with force. Airbags deployed and my passenger and I had to crawl out of the rear passenger door to escape the vehicle. We are lucky to be alive and escape with minor injuries. There are drag skid marks on the ground from the rear wheels.

Reported at 4,400 miles, March 2017 CrashInjury

My car was struck by a car spinning out of control mainly the drivers side door center post and rear door. I think the car is totaled. The passenger rear wheel is bent from the impact. None of the air bags deployed. The police officers that worked the accident was astonished. He said they should have deployed. My car was moving about 15MPH the car that hit mine was spinning very fast. The roads were slick and it was raining. The impact was about 40 to 60MPH at least.
