What owners wrote
Takata recall - driver's side air bag stopped working the horn stopped working while I was driving. I found out that the horn wasn't working as I was almost killed by someone moving in to my lane and directly toward my car. Luckily, they saw me at the last minute. , all computer communication in the steering column stopped working. Looked on line and saw that these issues were caused by a bad clock switch. Took the car to the dealer and I was told there was no recall for my car.
While driving and making a left turn on a city street, I heard a clicking in the steering wheel and the airbag error light came o. Then none of the buttons on the steering wheel worked. Dealer investigated and determined it was the clock spring. The mileage was 66,000. About the same as all the other complaints I have read. Luckily I only had to pay the 50 charge because I had a used car warranty.
