"takata recall" while driving my van I lost to go to the bank, when I went to put my foot on the gas pedal it would not go. There was no movement. It made this funny sound under the hood. I had no warning, it shifted gears, my husband even plugged in the code reader and nothing came up. As we are looking into the issue the torke converter went out in the transmission.
