Takata recall: Shuts off on it's own while driving with loss of control. Loss of steering. Loss of brakes, car shakes. Headlights dim when signaling for turns. Car began shaking with loss of control, battery, ab, and other sensor lights remain on. Odometer became exempt 2016, but seller, cache valley auto sales, lewiston, ut has odometer at 142,221 miles. The seller refuses to fix, or exchange for this vehicle for another vehicle.
The only event leading to the failure was a loud sound coming from the rear left side of the vehicle. The failure involved a pull to the left and excessive heat being generated from the back left tire. The component that failed ended up being the wheel bearing. I had a mechanic replace it and also kept the old part. The old bearing was scorched (the mechanic showed me) and warped. The bearing could have locked up had it not been replaced, resulting in an accident.
Standard driving to 48000 miles. Right rear wheel bearing start to make excessive noise. Bearing was replaced before failure. Old part is not available.
