Description of the problem	"takata recall" i have had my volkswagen passat since may of 2015, since then my journey as a customer has been frustrating and a very scary experienced. Once i got the car within a week i took it to mechanics to get the usual diagnostics done to ensure the safety of the car. It automatically had the tire warning light on till date after tire changes, diagnostics, and timely services. My car's steering control has been a very big issue, turning and the performance of the vehicle ended up to be very unsafe as if i will lose control of the car one day. I have gone to get wheel alignments, tire changes, arm control changes and other several remedies that always tend to resolve in the same issue within weeks. I have put $1000 within the last 4 months and i have still a car that is going to fall apart very soon. I am also experiencing the air bag signal being off every time i enter my car and i am driving. As a young mother and student, i have found this car to have too many issues and every unreliable. To have entered my vin in the recall system and realizing that my car has a rotating clock issue with no remedy has had me very worried, and i am afraid to drive my children in a vehicle that has no safety features that are due to fail in case of an emergency. I in some unsafe weather conditions pay for mta or cab services to get to locations safely. To have a remedy that is unfound as of yet puts my family and myself in harms way.
