Consumer Description

TAKATA RECALL WHEN SLOWING DOWN TO A STOP LIGHT THE CAR LOCKED THE STEERING AND BREAKS. THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON. I WAS UNABLE TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP AND ENDED UP GOING HALFWAY THROUGH THE LIGHT. I TURNED THE CAR OFF THEN BACK ON. IT WAS FINE. ABOUT A MONTH LATER THE SAME THING HAPPENED AS WE WERE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. WE HAD NO CONTROL OVER THE STEERING OR BREAKS. I CONTACTED THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THERE WAS NO OPEN RECALL SO THEY WOULD NOT FIX IT FOR FREE. I JUST BOUGHT THE CAR TWO MONTHS AGO.
