Consumer Description

TAKATA RECALL - THE ENGINE HAS BEEN MISFIRING THIS HAS ALSO HAPPEN TO SOMEONE ELSE I KNOW WHO HAS HAD THE SAME VEHICLE. THIS IS VERY UNSAFE AND THEY DON'T HAVE IT AS A RECALL YET BUT ALL OF THE DEALERSHIP ARE AWARE OF IT. THE VEHICLE JERKS WHEN YOUR DRIVING OR WHEN ITS PARKED. THIS IS NOT THE ALTERNATOR OR ANYTHING ELSE I HAD THAT REPLACED AND NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH IT AND THE SAME ISSUE IS STILL OCCURRING. IT A BAD PART THEY PUT IN THE ENGINE AND IT NEEEDS TO BE RECALLED. IT IS UNFAIR AND NOT SAFE FOR CUSTOMERS WITH THIS ISSUE. THE VEHICLE JERKS AND WHEN IS DOES IT IT FEELS LIKE IT HESITATES TO DRIVE WHILE IN DRIVE MODE. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR A COUPLE OF MONTHS IT HAS JUST GOTTEN WORSE AND I AM TRULY SCARED.
