I am not sure if I have takata air bags, however the air bag light has been on for over a year. The steering takes additional strength to turn at lower speeds. It does not matter where the car is driven for the steering issue, it happens on city streets, the highway if turning at slower speeds. The rack and pinion and power steering pump have been replaced did not fix the issue.
