I hit one with my 1976 Caprice Estate at 25mph…it turned in front of me at night with no headlights or turn signals….it was totaled…my car had a small dent on the front end
Shortly after, Renault pulled out of the US---the quality problems, recall notices and warranty claims caught up with them. The passenger side seat back collapsing was shocking. What a heap
To be fair, it's 1982. Chrysler still had the same problem TEN years later, and they knew about it and did nothing. Moreover, seat collapses in rear-end collisions still happen today.

Of all the cars to ever exist, this is certainly one of them.
