problem #2

  • Automatic transmission

Airbag light came on and stayed on (is it working?)....ISN'T THIS A SAFETY ISSUE??? within a few weeks every control on the steering column one by one quit working or went haywire.

The radio/CD controls are haywire volume goes to swirch mode or track or station... or vice versa sometimes it doesn't work at all.

Speed Control doesn't work at all.

Horn quit working just as someone came within inches of pulling out in front of me. I am leaning on the horn as I slammed on the brakes and NOTHING. Two days later it worked then a week later nothing. Now it works one out of about oevery 30 tries.... ISN'T THIS A SAFETY ISSUE
