Consumer Description

TAKATA RECALL. WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH ON THE FREEWAY, THE VEHICLE SLOWED DOWN SIGNIFICANTLY TO ABOUT 30 MPH AND I COULD NOT ACCELERATE. SOON AFTER THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I TOOK MY CAR TO AUTOZONE AND DID A SYSTEM CHECK, I RECEIVED THE ERROR CODE P2101 DETECTING THE THROTTLE ACTUATOR CONTROL TO BE AN ISSUE. THE NEXT DAY, WHEN MY CAR WAS IN PARK MY RPMS WERE UP TO 2,000. WHEN BEGINNING TO DRIVE, I WOULD RELEASE THE BRAKE AND WITHOUT HITTING THE GAS I WOULD GO UPWARDS OF 25 MPH. THE AMOUNT OF TIME THAT I DRIVE THE VEHICLE DOES NOT MATTER AND THERE IS NO IN BETWEEN, THE CAR IS EITHER REARING TO GO OR WANTS TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP.
