What owners wrote
I havve been having electrical issues the past three-five months on this vehicle today when in a car accident the air bag lights came on but no air bags deployed fire and rescue siad they should have deployeed. The radio would turn on and off and sometimes the head lights wouldnt turn on.
When turning the steering wheel it clicks as if something is loose. Dealership has replaced airbag and clock spring twice, steering wheel still clicks.
