“I made a left hand turn and was hit on the front passenger side. The force of the hit spun my car in a full circle, damaged the entire front of the frame, knocked off the front bumper, caused the trunk to open, and caused severe damage spanning the whole front end of the car including the driver's side door which I was unable to open. During this accident, the airbags did not deploy. The estimated cost for repair for my Corolla was 13,000 dollars.”

“1. This car can not be driven in a straight line on the highway even when you hold steering without moving. It seems vehicle slowly, consistently drifts mostly to the left and to the right. One needs to pay so much attention on steering while driving. This problem has been there since day one (8 miles) and I requested to fix before I sign the paper work but not has been taken care other than car wash. This issue still exists even after performing alignment during our first service visit as I thought it was an alignment issue. …”
