Consumer Description

TAKATA RECALL... MY JEEP HAD ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN 5 TIMES NOW. TWO OF WHICH I WAS ON M24 WHICH IS A VERY BUSY ROAD. FIRST TIME I ALMOST HIT A MAN ON A MOTORCYCLE AS MY FOOT WAS CRAMMING ON MY BRAKE PEDDLE THE JEEP WAS STILL ACCELERATING, I THEN HAD TO PUT IT IN NEUTRAL TO GET IT TO STOP. PULLED OVER ITS STILL REVING ITSELF UP. I HAD TO TURN IT OFF AND BACK ON. TODAY THIS HAPPENED AND I ALMOST REAR ENDED A SEMI TRUCK.
