CAR ACCELERATES WHEN IDLING IN DRIVE OR REVERSE EVEN WITH FOOT ON BRAKE. CAUSES MANY NEAR ACCIDENTS WHEN PARKING OR IDLING. SEEMS TO BE CONNECTED WITH AC COMPRESSOR. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND SHOULD BE RECALLED AND FIXED.

TAKATA RECALL- RECEIVED NOTICES THAT NEW INFLATOR IS READY TO BE INSTALLED AND MUST TAKE TO DEALER TO REPLACE, NO LOCAL DEALERS HAVE THE PART OR KNOW WHEN THEY WILL GET IT, SO IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO HAVE IT REPLACED OR BE NOTIFIED WHEN PARTS ARE AVAILABLE

WHEN THE CAR IS AT A STOP OR MOVING SLOWLY IT PERIODICALLY ACCELERATES ON ITS OWN. I MAKE SURE TO KEEP EXTRA DISTANCE BETWEEN ME AND THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME TO PREVENT AN ANY TYPE OF ACCIDENT. IT TENDS TO ACCELERATE AS I TAKE MY FOOT OFF THE BREAK AND ABOUT TO STEP ON THE GAS FROM A STOP. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR THE PAST SIX MONTHS AND GETTING PROGRESSIVELY WORSE. THIS OCCURS WHILE DRIVING AROUND TOWN, WHILE GETTING OFF A FWY OR WHILE PARKED.
