Takata recall I was driving and I accelerated through a green traffic light on a city street and as I went to push the brakes to slow down for another vehicle my truck accelerated on its own as I continued to press the brakes to the floor to try and stop but it continued to accelerate then I tried to pull over to get out off traffic to avoid hitting anyone and it still never slowed down as I'm trying to pull over. Once I got out of traffic I went off on the side of the road and threw it in park.I sat there for about 20 minutes then started it back up and drove home without any issue then that night my husband drove it to work without issues but when he got off the next day as he was backing out the parking space he was in motion to reverse out the space and he pushed the gas and then went to push the brake and it accelerated on him sending him out of control spinning in a circle then hitting a parked vehicle.

I had slowed down to look for an address on a dead end street which abutted up to a chain link fence and an embankment just off of I-5 in lakewood, washington. My 83 year old mother was riding in the passenger seat. My nitro rapidly accelerating to approximately 70-80 MPH. I crashed through a chain link fence and struck a tree. If it wasn't for the tree I would have ended up on I-5 and possibly collided with northbound traffic. The airbags did not deploy. However I believe this was due to primarily striking the right front side of the car. My mother sustained bruising due to the seat back tightening up and generalized soft tissue injury. I sustained neck, back, left shoulder and leg soreness. My car had 51,000 miles on it. Usaa totaled my car. I look on the internet and noticed several other complaints regarding this same issue. In addition to this, I never received a recall regarding this issue.
