On december 27th 2019. My daughter slide into the back of another car and she complained the breaks were taking to long to come to a complete stop. The car was totaled and on january 23rd, 2020 we received safety recall notice 19s54/the federal safety agency recall 19v‑904. Had we received this notice before 12/27/19 we believe repairs would have prevented the accident and the car would not have been sold for parts.
