Description of the problem | Takata recall. I was involved in an accident where i was coming off the highway, slid on water and crashed into a steel pole. The breaks did not work at all and when i got out to look at the damage the break pads were in the middle of the street like they had just fall off. None of the airbags deployed and my friend's head cracked the windshield. Car was totaled. |
