| Description of the problem | Steering wheel began making a clicking noise every time i would turn the wheel either right or left. Then the volume and skip buttons stopped working on the steering wheel, left side only, the right side control buttons are working just fine. A couple of days later, the airbag light came on the dashboard and my steering wheel is still clicking when i turn the wheel. Doesn't matter if i'm on the freeway or in a residential area, it clicks no matter what and the airbag light has not gone off since. |
