| Description of the problem | Takata recall" as i was parking car jerk forward, engine revived, car accelerated like a bullet, brake failed. (i had brake job prior to this incident) i jumped the curb and ran over smaller trees. As i was headed toward busy highway not being able to stop until my husband put car in neutral. The next day i had taking the car to the mechanic and had front end repair done, but mechanic could not find the reason why it happened. Thursday, april 20, 2017, as i was going to park the same thing happened again that the car jerked forward, engine revived up, car accelerated at high speed like a bullet on its own with no assistance or warning and brake did not work. I am going to go and get it checked out again, but i am to afraid to drive it because it does it without warning. Car does it by itself. |
