Consumer Description

THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON, BECAUSE THE CLOCK SPRING IS BAD. THIS HAS ALSO CAUSED THE HORN BUTTON TO NOT WORK. SOMETIMES THE HORN HONKS WHEN I MAKE SHARP TURNS. IT IS UNCLEAR WHETHER OR NOT THE DRIVER AIRBAG WOULD DEPLOY IN THE EVENT OF AN IMPACT, BUT FROM WHAT I CAN TELL IT IS QUITE UNLIKELY. THIS ALSO EFFECTS THE FUNCTIONALITY OF THE BUTTONS ON THE STICKS ON EITHER SIDE OF THE STEERING WHEEL FOR THE CRUISE CONTROL, THE MULTI FUNCTION DISPLAY, AND THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS. SOMETIMES THOSE BUTTONS WORK, SOMETIMES THEY DON'T AND SOMETIMES THEY DO THINGS THEY AREN'T DESIGNED TO DO. FROM THE RESEARCH I HAVE DONE THIS IS A PROBLEM WHICH OCCURS VERY FREQUENTLY WITH THIS CAR. *TR
