Takata recall. At 80K miles my vehicle is idling while in park and also while accelerating its doing a jerk and feels as if it doesn't want to go into gear to reach higher speed. I checked the code and it read as a air mass flow sensor, catalyst converter, and O2 sensor. The car turned off on me while on, jump started it and turned back on. I changed the mass air flow sensor and its still doing the same thing. I took it to the mechanic and the mechanic said the code says battery and other things. Reccommended we start cheap by changing the battery and going from there. I changed the battery and the computer now says O2 sensor. I keep dumping alot of money into this vehicle and to me it seems that this issue is also happening many others including my close friend who owns the same vehicle.

Takata inflators. I've noticed that the rear driver side suspension does not suspend correcly. I feel the rear tire slipping under normal weather conditions. So much so that one can feel the tire slip. Please keep in mind that my tires are still new. I'm also hearing a weird sound that comes from the same area. I'm not sure what's happening. This happens when the car is in motion.
