Consumer Description

THE DRIVER AIRBAG LIGHT WENT ON, THE WHOLE STEERING WHEEL CONTROL STOPPED WORKING AS SOON AS THIS LIGHT WENT ON. THE AGENCY ADVICES US THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE. THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS SAME ISSUE FOR THE CLOCK COIL I BELIEVE HE CALLED IT, AND I WANT TO VERIFY WHY MY VEHICLE IS EXPERIENCING THIS SAME ISSUE AND IS NOT ONE OF THE RECALLED MODELS? HOW DO YOU DETERMINE THAT ONLY CERTAIN MODELS WHERE AFFECTED, THIS YOU USE DIFFERENT COILS FOR DIFFERENT VEHICLES?
