Air Bags
Filed Feb 22, 2002NE

WHEN TRYING TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL, AT ANY SPEED IT WOULD MAKE A CLICKING NOICE AND SOMETIMES WOULD BE VERY DIFFICULT TO TURN ( STEERING WHEEL WOULD JUST STOP SPINNING IN THE MIDDLE OF TURNING THE WHEEL AND WOULD NEED TO BE FORCED INTO THE TURN ) LATER FOUND THAT THE CRUISE CONTROL NEVER WORKED BECAUSE THE REPAIR CENTER SAID THE CLOCKSPRING HAD FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED THIS IS A 300.00 EXPENSE. THERE IS NO DISCOUNT OR ANYTHING EVEN THO THIS PART ALSO CONTROLS THE AIR BAG ASSEMBLY WHICH EVIDENTLY IS NOT A SAFETY FEATURE ... IT IS A LUXORY. ANY INFORMATION YOU CAN GIVE ME ABOUT THIS WOULD BE NICE.*AK

Reading this record

No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.

Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.

Most recent recall on file: none. Source: NHTSA Office of Defects Investigation.
