Consumer Description

TAKATA RECALL I CAN FEEL MY CAR JOLTING (ALMOST EVERYDAY NOW) ESPECIALLY AS I TRY TO ACCELERATE OR INCREASE SPEED. I FEEL IT THE MOST WHEN I AM ACCELERATING FROM A STOP LIGHT OR SLOWING DOWN FOR A TURN AND TRYING TO SPEED BACK UP. MY CAR HAS STALLED TWICE ON THE HIGHWAY AS I WAS TRYING TO ACCELERATE AFTER SLOWING DOWN. I CAN SEE THAT THERE IS A RECALL OUT FOR MY CAR HOWEVER, THERE IS NO REMEDY AVAILABLE AND I NO LONGER FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS CAR! I PURCHASED THE CAR BACK IN JULY OF 2018 AND FELT THE JOLTS AROUND MID-SEPTEMBER. NOW THEY HAVE GOTTEN INCREASINGLY WORSE AND ARE A PART OF MY EVERYDAY DRIVING. I WAS TOLD THAT THERE WOULD BE A SOLUTION EARLY 2019 SO I WAS DETERMINED TO WAIT UNTIL THEN BUT NOW WE'RE IN THE LATTER HALF OF THE YEAR WITH NO SOLUTION.
