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.
Clicking noise from steering wheel while turning. error airbag message later appeared along with airbag notification light. functions in steering wheel cease to work including the horn. noticed in motion on a neighborhood street.
My vehicle was in motion pulling out of my driveway and turning onto the street when the steering failed completely and i was unable to direct my car. to avoid blocking traffic i had to pull into my neighbors front yard. the car was in motion and around other cars when i lost control. this is the second incident with this vehicle.
While in the middle a a 5 way boston intersection my power steering failed without warning and i was unable to direct my car in busy traffic. i was able to remain calm and turn on hazard lights to get myself out of harms way, but was extremely lucky. the steering light came on immediate, but there were no noises, no previous issues, and no way other than luck for me to prevent a serious accident.
