" TAKATA RECALL" I WAS DRIVING TO WORK WHEN MY CAR STARTED SMELLING HOT. I LITERALLY JUST LEFT MY HOUSE I WAS ABOUT 5 MILES FROM HOME. IT SMELLED LIKE HOW YOU USE THE HEATER FOR THE FIRST TIME DURING COLD WEATHER. I CHECKED THE GAUGES TO MAKE SURE I WAS NOT OVER HEATING. I HAD NO WARNING LIGHTS POP ON AND MY TEMP GAUGE WAS NORMAL. I THAN STARTED SEEING SMOKE COMING FROM THE SIDE OF THE HOOD. I PULLED OVER ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND GOT OUT. THE ENTIRE CAR UNDER NEATH WAS ON FIRE. I IMMEDIATELY GOT AWAY FROM THE CAR AND WAITED FOR THE FIRE DEPARTMENT AND POLICE TO COME.

I DECIDED TO TAKE IT UPON MYSELF TO REACH OUT TO THEM AND WAS TOLD TO BRING IT IN. THAT BEING SAID, I HAD RESCHEDULED MY APPOINTMENT SEVERAL TIMES (BECAUSE LIFE HAPPENS). I REACHED OUT AGAIN TO RESCHEDULE AND DID NOT RECIEVE A RESPONSE. I REACHED OUT THE LHM CUSTOMER SERVICE, THEY SAID SOMEONE WILL BE CONTACTING ME BUT NEVER DID. I FEEL LIKE I AM BEING IGNORED, AND I WANT THIS CAR FIXED OR OUT OF MY LEASE. MY CAR VIBRATES SINCE I BOUGHT IT, AND NOW IT KIND OF SHAKES WHEN I DO A TURN.

WHEN I AM ACCELERATING FROM A COMPLETE STOP IT SHUTTERS VERY BAD. IT HAPPENS WHEN TURNING AND I HAVE TO SPEED UP, IT REALLY GETS BAD WHEN I'M AT A COMPLETE STOP AND I HAVE TO TAKE OFF UPHILL. IT ALMOST FEELS LIKE IT IS HAVING PROBLEMS GOING INTO GEAR. IT ONLY DOES THIS WHEN I AM ACCELERATING. I TOLD FORD MARSHAL IN O'FALLON MO AND THEY SAID IT WAS THE "CLUTCH AND IT WAS WITHIN LIMITS." (WHATEVER THAT MEANS)THIS IS WHEN I STILL HAD A WARRANTY. BUT NOW I DON'T. I'M A LITTLE DISAPPOINTED IN THIS MATTER. THEY SHOULD HAVE FIXED IT WHILE I HAD A WARRANTY.
