Consumer Description

TAKATA RECALL. WHEN DRIVING THE 2008 LEXUS GS 350 4DR SEDAN STALLS WHEN THE CAR IS IN MOTION, IT IS UNCONTROLABLE. FOR EXAMPLE WHEN I'M AT A RED LIGHT AND MY FOOT IS ON THE BRAKE PEDAL AND I PRESS MY FOOT GRADUALLY ON THE GAS PEDAL WHEN THE LIGHT TURNS GREEN. THEN CAR WILL STALL FOR ABOUT 1 TO 2 MINTUES, THEN WILL INCREASE IN SPEED. IT'S DANGEROUS BECAUSE, WHEN I NEED TO TURN AND THE CAR STALLS IN THE MIDDLE OF A TURN IT WOULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT TO OCCUR. OR WHEN THE CAR IS IN MOTION GOING STRAIGHT ON A HIGHWAY OR AN INTERSECTION IT COULD STALL, AND CAUSE AN ACCIDENT TO OCCUR. IT DOESNT HAPPEN EVERYTIME WHEN THE CAR IS IN MOTION, SO FAR I'VE BEEN NOTICING AND TAKING NOTE IT HAS BEEN OCCURING 4X OR MORE TIMES A WEEK. BECAUSE OF THE INCONSITENCY OF THE CAR STALLING WHEN IN MOTION IT MAKES IT ESPECIALLY DANGEROUS FOR THE OTHER DRIVERS ON THE ROAD AND PEDESTRAINS. REGARDLESS ANY STALL OF A CAR WHILE ITS IN MOTION ON A HIGHWAY OR STREET EITHER TURNING OR GOING STRAIGHT IS NOT SAFE.
