Description of the problem	Yesterday, as i was turning out of my driveway, i heard an unusual clicking noise coming from my steering wheel. I drove to work (approx 2 miles from my home) and parked car. When i started my car 8 hours later, my dash screen read "error airbag" and the airbag light was on. The clicking noise is still present but doesn't occur every time i turn the wheel... Only sometimes. This morning,(error light still illuminated) as i was pulling out of my driveway, i noticed my control functions on steering wheel were no longer working. I am terrified that my airbag will deploy. My vehicle has not been involved in any accidents and i am the only owner of the vehicle. My vehicle is not part of the takata recall but the issues i am having seem very similar.
