TAKATA RECALL! MY AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON AND AN AUTO ELECTRICAL TECH SAID THE UNIT WAS PUTTING OUT AN ELECTRICAL CODE #41 (UNIT FAILURE). CHUCK PATTERSON SCHEDULED MY CAR FOR AN AIRBAG INSPECTION. THEN THEY WOULDN'T DO IT AND SUGGESTED TO SOMEONE THAT I SIMPLY COME PICK THE CAR UP. WHEN I QUESTIONED THE SAFETY OF DRIVING THE CAR LIKE THAT, AND SAID THAT I WOULD LIKE THE DIAGNOSIS AND RELATED INFO, COMMUNICATION BASICALLY STOPPED, AND MY CAR HAS BEEN IN THEIR SERVICE DEPARTMENT FOR A MONTH, AND THEY WILL NOT ANSWER QUESTIONS. SOMETHING IS WRONG! *JS

2009-11-16, Engine And Engine Cooling
I WAS DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH WHEN SUDDENLY THE THROTTLE WENT WIDE OPEN AND THE TACHOMETER WENT TO MAXIMUM RPMS. I DEPRESSED THE CLUTCH WHILE THE ENGINE CONTINUED TO REV AT MAXIMUM RPMS FOR APPROXIMATELY 45 SECONDS. I WAS STARTLED AND DID NOT HAVE THE PRESENCE OF MIND TO TURN THE IGNITION SWITCH TO THE ACCESSORY POSITION. EVENTUALLY THE REVVING SUBSIDED FROM MAXIMUM BUT CONTINUED TO SURGE UNTIL I FINALLY PARKED THE CAR AND SHUT THE ENGINE OFF. UPON RESTARTING THE ENGINE THE OPERATION WAS NORMAL HOWEVER THERE WAS A LOUD KNOCKING NOISE AND THE RESULT OF THIS MALFUNCTION WAS ENGINE DAMAGE THAT REQUIRED REBUILDING THE ENGINE. *TR
