Consumer Description

CLOCK SPRING ON MY VEHICLE BROKE FOR A SECOND TIME DISABLING MY HORN AND STEERING WHEEL CONTROLS. MY AIRBAG LIGHT IS ALSO ON. NOT ONLY IS THIS A COSTLY FIX, BUT MY SAFETY IS IN JEOPARDY AGAIN DUE TO A PART THAT IS WIDELY KNOWN TO BE DEFECTIVE FOR YEARS. FOR SOME REASON MY CAR IS NOT INCLUDED IN THIS VOLUNTARY RECALL AND IT IS VERY UPSETTING. PLEASE INCLUDE THIS VIN IN YOUR RECALL OR EVEN THE DEFECTIVE REPLACEMENTS. I DON'T WANT TO DIE OVER A CAR PART.
