Consumer Description

TAKATA RECALL . MY GIRLFRIEND AND I WERE DRIVING WHEN WE WERE APPROACHING A STOP LIGHT WHEN MY ESC LIGHT CAME ON AT 15 MPH AND MY CAR 'STALLED' THEN SHUT OFF HOWEVER MY CAR WAS TURNED ON. I WAS IN STILL IN 'DRIVE'AND HAD FOUR CARS BEHIND ME. I PROCEEDED TO PUT MY HAZARD LIGHTS ON TO LET THE OTHER DRIVERS PASS BY, PUT MY CAR IN PARK, THEN I TURNED THE CAR OFF. AFTER TEN MINUTES I WAS ABLE TO TURN THE CAR ON, PROCEEDED TO START TO DRIVE HOWEVER THE LIGHT REMAINED ON. I INSTANTLY NOTICED MY CAR WAS SLOWER THAN BEFORE I COULDN'T PROPERLY ACCELERATE AND THE PERFORMANCE OVERALL WAS JUST LOW. I AM NOW AFRAID TO GO ANYWHERE FAR WITH THE CAR DUE TO THIS EXPERIENCE LUCKILY WE WERE NOT IN AN ACCIDENT THIS TIME. IT'S HAPPENED THREE MORE TIMES SINCE THEN. THIS WAS TWO WEEKS AGO.
