Description of the problem | 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. |
