The contact owns a 2015 Hyundai Elantra. The contact stated that while pulling out of a parking spot, the vehicle accelerated unintendedly. There was no warning light illuminated. The contact stated that she depressed the brake pedal several times, but the vehicle failed to respond and crashed into a building. The driver's side air bag deployed; however, there was flame in the air bag upon deployment. The contact stated that the fire went out on his own.
"takata recall". Notice when pressing the breaks and hitting a bump in the road or man hole cover the brakes seem to release and skip forward losing control to some degree. I thought that it would be fix after installing brake pads and rotors but it still continues. I'm concerned what might happen during the winter in icey road or snow covered road conditions.
