NHTSA complaint #10239731, filed 2008-08, 220,000 miles“The clock spring assembly that is housed in the steering column has failed due to a known design flaw. The assembly controls the deployment of the driver side airbag, the cruise control and the horn. As a result of this failure, I have an airbag notification light that stays on and both the cruise control and horn do not function. This specific item is the subject of a recent recall, however, my VIN# does not appear on the list of vehicles the manufacturer has determined prone to failure. As a result, I am liable for identical repairs without the benefit of redress.”
