While driving the car on the highway at typical highway speeds (60mph-70mph) the wrench indicator light comes on in the dashboard and the car looses the ability to accelerate any faster than about 10 miles an hour. We pull over, turn the car off and start it back up again and it appears to run fine. This can happen randomly one day and then not happen again for a few weeks or even a month or two then it does it…

While reversing out of my parking spot at work the other day, the car completely stalled while my foot was on the gas pedal. I was thankful that no one was behind me because the car completely shut down. I put it in park and restarted it easily, but i was too nervous to drive on a highway after the incident, as there was no indication the first time that the car was going to shut down. I drove down a country road…

Airbags did not deploy during car accident. Airbags recalled by takata are far more dangerous, basically dead airbags. The vehicle was in motion, another recall with the carpets being recalled as well, resulting in excessive speed from the carpet pressing on the gas peddle, causing the accident.
