Consumer Description

I HAD TAKEN MY CAR TO GET THE SPRING WIRE REPLACED BACK WHEN THE RECALL CAME OUT. I WASNT HAVING ANY TROUBLE WITH IT THEN. THEY FIXED IT WITH WHAT I ASSUME WAS A FAULTY SPRING WIRE. SO NOW ALL MY COMPONENTS ON MY STEERING WHEEL DO NOT WORK, MY HORN DOES NOT WORK AND MY AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON WITH IT READING AIRBAG ERROR. I HAVE LOOKED IT UP AND IT SAYS FAULTY SPRING WIRE, WHICH IS WEIRD BECAUSE I THOUGHT THEY REPLACED IT WITH A GOOD PART AND NOW BECAUSE IVE ALREADY GOTTEN THE RECAL DONE THEY WONT DO IT AGAIN UNDER RECALL.
