"takata recall" my brakes went out while driving on a city street, slowing down to make a right turn into a dirt road to get home. Instead I lost control of the steering wheel and ended up crashing into a ditch. My airbags inflated. Now my muffler sounds like its rattled and a strong smell of gasoline always occur when driving. I have no exterior damage due to the crash. Only internal and prior to this, my brake warning lights would come off and on. I was told that it just meant that my brake sensor had a glitch. Other than that my breaks worked just fine with no warning signs of them going out sooner.
