My whole steering column is causing problems from airbags, my wipers not working now, speed-control wont work., traction control . Causing my car to swerve out of control and causing my car to almost rollover as it went into oncoming traffic, I keep having to change my tires including the back tires the most.the car was in motion when this happened.the light is on the dash, but no one will fix it, I have a son who is 14 years old I bought the car because I thought it would be dependable.
