Takata recall, I was driving down my city street when all of a sudden I believe it was a pot hole or just uneven gravel leading my knee hit the key in the ignition and in that second I had no control or control of what happened next. I could not brake, my seat belt locked on me hurting my collar bone, then my wheel was so hard to turn I was using both hands aggressively to turn as hard as I can just so I wouldn't hit a building or cause damage to others and as I was sterling I would keep pressing the brakes and they were just locked. I had to hit a barrier of wood to stop my car. The airbags did not deploy as well which was very scary. I had no control of my car for the first time and it was not my fault, this has never happened and I know it's because of the key being bumped. My recall # 14V346000 accidental bumping of key ignition. I had no idea this car had a recall. The dealership did not inform me either. I am now car -less and hoping to get somewhat taken care of because it was unsafe and I don't wish this on anyone. Very scary experience.

Passenger seat belt clip is defective. Belt clip keeps coming undone constantly therefore will not retain seat belt properly. Once the seatbelt comes out of the clip it crosses over the passengers' neck creating a safety issue and it causes undue discomfort. GM has replaced the seat skin once, and the problem continues to exist and they refuse to do anything else to correct the problem.
