Consumer Description

TAKATA RECALL I WAS DRIVING 60MPH AND TRIED TO SET CRUISE CONTROL AND TOOK FOR OFF GAS ABS THE CAR KEPT ACCELERATING FAST. ABOUT 80MPH I TAPPED THE BRAKE, CRUISE CONTROL LIGHT TURNED OFF AND CAR KEPT ACCELERATING AND RPMS WERE IN THE RED. I PUSHED AS HARD AS I COULD ON THE BRAKES AND CAR KEPT ACCELERATING PAST 85MPH AND I WAS NOW COMING INTO 30MPH ZONE AND RPMS WERE HIGH AND I TRIED TO PUT IT IN NEUTRAL CAUSE I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO. THE ENGINE REVVED COMPLETELY UP WITH RPMS AND I FINALLY JUST THREW IT IN PARK IN ROAD AND TURNED CAR OFF AND CALLED INSURANCE FOR TOW TRUCK. MY SON SAID I HAD BURNT MY BRAKES.. UNSURE OTHER THAN THERE WAS SMOKE FROM SOMEPLACE UNDER CAR. I GOT DOWN AND VISUALLY AND LOOKED FOR GAS PEDAL TO BE STUCK OR ANYTHING AND IT WAS NORMAL. TRIED STARTING CAR AND IMMEDIATELY TURNED IT BACK OFF DUE TO RPMS IN RED. HAPPENED 3 SEPERATE TIMES BUT MECHANIC NEVER FOUND ANYTHING WRONG OR WHAT IT WAS SO MY DAD DISCONNECTED THE CRUISE CONTROL WIRES OR SOMETHING WITH CRUISE CONTROL. CAR IDLES NOW HIGH AND RPMS RUN HIGHER THAN NORMAL. NOBODY KNOWS WHAT TO FIX SO I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO FIX.
