Description of the problem	Takata recall, my car was totaled out in a car accident on july 24, 2018. As the result of the person in front of me was driving and had to come to a complete stop multiple times attempting to find the turn she was looking for. It was a unit in between us allowing me to make a complete stop without hitting her. In the process of me hitting breaks my engine reved really high causing my car to speed up instead of stop. The back tired were even spinning with my foot on the breaks. As a result my car slammed into her rear end without me having any control period. There was no damage to her vehicle other than a scratch from the impact of my car, however my car was totaled completely out. I'm faulted for the accident bc i'm suppose to have control over my own car. In this case i did not. I was told by my insurance company to investigate if there was a recall on my car dealing with these issues causing my accident, and sure enough there is 2 recalls i was never informed about. The only one i knew about was the seatbelt and i took it to the dealship for that and it still didn't fix the problem. I need to know since these recalls play a part in my accident how i can be compensated. It clearly was not my fault that the car had manufacture issues i knew nothing about. It's had this issue for some time now but i was told it's bc it's a hybrid me knowing it was something not safe about it. I was in motion on a city street getting ready to get in the left lane once the lady turned to take my son to school. She almost missed her turn and hit her brakes. My car did not respond to me hitting my brakes it just kept going. #162
