TAKATA RECALL I HAVE HAD MY CHRYSLER 2015 200 FOR 3 YEARS AND SINCE I'VE HAD MY CAR IT HAS ALWAYS HAD AN ISSUE WITH ACCELERATING ON ITS ON. IT ACCELERATES WHEN YOU TAP THE BREAKS AND IT WILL ACCELERATE ON ITS ON TAKING IT OFF CRUISE CONTROL AS WELL. SO LAST WEEK MY CAR WAS BEING DRIVEN ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE CAR WAS PUT ON CRUISE CONTROL GOING ABOUT 60-65 MPH THEN ONCE THE BRAKE WAS TAPPED TO SLOW DOWN THE CAR BEGAN TO LOCK UP AND ACCELERATE UP TO 90 MPH. THEN AFTER THE CAR PICKED UP SPEED THE WHOLE CAR LOCKED UP STEERING WHEEL WOULD NOT TURN OR ANYTHING AND THE CAR ENDED UP HITTING A WALL. THE STATE OF WHAT CAUSE THE ISSUE IS UNKNOWN, HOWEVER I THINK THIS ISSUE SHOULD BE TAKEN FURTHER FOR AN INVESTIGATION.

FORWARD COLLISION WARNING (FCW) WITH MITIGATION SYSTEM DID NOT WORK AT A SPEED OF 15 MILES PER HOUR. A VEHICLE IN FRONT OF MY VEHICLE STOPPED ABRUPTLY IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD AND I ATTEMPTED TO APPLY THE BRAKES BUT IT WAS TO LATE AND I HIT THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. MY VEHICLE WHICH WAS TRAVELING AT 15 MILES PER HOUR GAVE NO FORWARD COLLISION WARNING NOR DID IT ATTEMPT TO APPLY THE BRAKES. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THE SYSTEM WAS MADE FOR THIS TYPE OF OCCURRENCE AND THE SAFETY FEATURE SHOULD HAVE WORKED. THE FRONT OF MY VEHICLE SUSTAINED $6500 IN DAMAGE FROM A MINOR 15 MPH ACCIDENT THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN AVOIDED OR LESSENED WITH THE TECHNOLOGY PACKAGE THAT I PURCHASED AS AN ADD ON TO THE VEHICLE.
