Description of the problem | At around 47,000 miles i began hearing a clicking noise when turning my steering wheel. After a day or two of this my airbag light came on. I lost function of my horn and found that out while traveling at highway speeds when some one was merging into my lane without checking to see if it was clear. I also lost all steering wheel mounted controls. I purchased the vehicle used about 27 days prior so i returned to the dealer and was informed i was responsible for the repairs. They did trouble shoot the issue and let me know that the clock spring was defective. |
