Description of the problem	Takata recall this has been the worse experience of my life. In may i was driving west on hwy 40 towards raleigh nc when my car just stopped and made a funny noise, when i pulled over and tried to restart the engine smoke came from under the hood. I had it towed to southern hyundai in raleigh on wake forest rd. It initially took three months to get a response from the manufacturer to pay 50% of the cost. Then 2 months later or around october when the car was ready i didn't have the other 4500. 00 to give them being a single parent of five. When the notice came out i asked them to see the manufacturer for the remaining balance. It is now december and i still don't have my car. I have been through so much and barely hanging on to a car making payments and haven't driven it in 7 months. The dealer still has possession of the vehicle, why can't the manufacture pay for the cost. I feel like i have been a victim of some cruel crime. What to do

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
