This Car Brand Was Sued for Disabling Safety Features During Test Drives

A family has filed a wrongful death lawsuit following the death of 47-year-old Quma Martinez Carrillo. In June 2024, Carrillo was on the road in her Honda Accord when something unsuspected happened. A 2021 Dodge Challenger (which was on a test drive) raced toward her, exceeding 120 mph, in a 45 mph limit zone. In a tragic turn of events, the two vehicles collided, ejecting Carrillo from her car. She died at the scene. Now, the family is suing the dealership, the salesperson, and the driver. This incident has raised some concerns about safety protocols surrounding test drives and disabling safety features. Here’s everything there is to know about the accident and what’s happening.
