It's unfortunate that this happened, but you really can't blame the car. She must have been going way too fast in that rainstorm, because if she had been driving safely, chances are she would've been fine. You can't blame the car when poor driving skills are involved. Plus she hit an F-150, if she had been driving a Chevy Cobalt, do you think the results would have been any different? You also don't take into account the size difference of the two vehicles.

This is a sad story for sure, but she must have been going way too fast in that blinding rain and hit that truck with no brakes. Virtually ANY car would have failed her at that point against an F-150. The truck was probably on top of her by the time she stopped as she most assuredly slid underneath it. You cannot find fault in any car's design when lack of judgement and/ or poor driving skill is involved.
