“A vehicle turned in front of me causing a subsequent crash resulting in front damage to my car. Airbags did not deploy although bumper was torn off and hood bent. Additionally aside from the crash, my car has started losing power while driving. I was driving on the highway when it lost power. I was able to maneuver and get it to the side of the road. It finally restarted. It will not start sometimes. Had the engine light checked and it shows there is a sensor problem. Will not identify which pedal sensor. Frustrated and will not drive it on the highway.”
