Takara recall: when leaving work I started my car and began to back out of the parking lot when I went to push on my brakes to stop my car my brake pedal went all the way to the floor as if I had nothing but air. I called and had the car towed to a local shop 4 different master cylinders put on the car two new calipers on the driver side front and back replaced along with a new ABS module and brake line hose on the front left side 2500.00 later and I still have no front left brakes!!!! Complete nightmare and it is completely unsafe not one person can figure out what the problem is oh I shall add we also replaced the brake pads!

I had to have transmission replaced which I filed a complaint already and since that the esp , all wheel drive, skidding and another light keeps coming on and off and my brakes only work half the time and now my driver window wont go up or down or mirror work and today my car wont start. My husband checked fuses they are good but have no power to over half of them. I called tate dodge they want another 1102.00 just for me to but the tipm part and do the work myself. I cant break a fuse box and do not feel this is fair and unless I replace then my car dont work now.
Takata recall - was driving down the road at 40 MPH. Car began to idle high, pulled over to shoulder and turned off the car. Opened the hood, smelled burning electrical smell. Closed the hood, tried to start the car. No start, lights on but would not start. Tried to put it in neutral, still no start. Vehicle was towed 15 miles to my apartment complex.
Electrical systems don't work all the time such as radio. Burning smell. Seat belt stopped working last year had to replace entire unit. Pto went out 8 months after 6 months purchase.
Loses power will idle and also driving. Does not always start- requires car to be shifted in and out of park before starting. Dash lights dim when wipes are engaged or changes as well as when turn signal used. Recall no able to be done due to "parts not coming in" at dealership. Rapid tire wear and allignment issues.spare tire is a temp doughnut and can not be used on awd cars,
Tires wore down at an alarming rate at just under 100 miles and brake pads also. Doesn't start at some times..just a click...turns off for no reason...when in park it acts like it wants to move forward ...cannot keep an alignment
Brake problem the rotor getting very hot.
Within months of purchase had to replace brakes, rotors & calipers in addition to wheels.
For a while now, randomly my journey will get stuck in 2nd or 3rd gear after taking off. I will have to stop, put it in park, shut off the engine and restart it for it to reset itself. The steering wheel shakes when applying the brakes, but I've have a complete new set of brakes put on it, rotors and new calipers in the front. The brakes also make a knocking sound. I also got a complete set of tires and they seem to be wearing quicker than normal. I have had 3 different shops look at the breaks for a diagnoses and all of them say that the right parts on it and they don't see and reason for the noises.
