What owners wrote

"takata recall" - while coming off the interstate, I started braking because vehicles were stopped at the top of the exit ramp to turn onto the overpass (highway). The vehicle would not stop. On three separate times the brakes did not function proper. They would not grip. Felt light hydro-plaining or like they would not lock. The vehicle had more than enough distance to stop and I was braking before I left the interstate. On the third try, the brakes failed again, causing an accident.
