Consumer Description

TAKATA RECALL A COUPLE MONTHS AGO I HAD RECALL 15V483000 COMPLETED ON MY 2012 PASSAT. I WAS EXPERIENCING ELECTRICAL ISSUES SUCH AS CRUISE CONTROL NOT WORKING, WIPERS TURNING ON FOR NO REASON. IT SEEMED TO BE CONNECTED TO THE STEERING COLUMN SINCE BOTH OF THESE FEATURES ARE CONNECTED TO THE STEERING COLUMN. AFTER THE RECALL WAS COMPLETED NO FURTHER ISSUES UNTIL TODAY. I MADE A U-TURN AND MY AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON AND HASN'T WENT OFF SENSE. I'M CONCERNED AFTER READING ABOUT SHRAPNEL AND AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT.
