In owners' own words
While vehicle was being driven air bags deployed without a collision occurring, cause unknown. Also, in rainy weather conditions water enters vehicle from dash area, causing electrical shortage. *Ak the windshield wiper had no gasket along botton. Tire tread separated while traveling. Four sets of brake pads and two sets of rotors faile in two years period. Air bags
I purchased a vehicle in 1997 from a friend. All of a sudden my horn stopped working. I have replaed the fuses. I have checked all the wires. I have replaced the horn. Their is nothing wrong. I think the problem is where the airbag is behind the steering wheel. What do I do. I dont think that is my responsibility if their is a problem with the air bag is it? Air bags
Prior to recall notification, the horn was inoperative, and the air bag light illuminated, the dealer stated a new clock spring was needed, however consumer declined repairs. The brake lights and back up lights were inoperative, and the blower and control module were replaced. *Ak Air bags
