AIR BAGS
I WAS MAKING A TURN AROUND WHEN MY STEERING COLUMN STARTED MAKING A NOISE AND MY AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON AND STAYED ON. AT THE SAME TIME MY HORN QUIT WORKING . MY STEERING IS STILL MAKING A NOISE LIKE SOMETHING IS LOOSE IN IT. I CALLED MCKINNEY DODGE ABOUT IT. I BOUGHT THE CAR WITH 13000 MILES ON IT, NOW THEY TELL ME MY WARRENTY HAS RAN OUT. WHEN I BOUGHT IT THEY TOLD ME THAT I HAD 2 YRS. OR 25000 MILES ON THE WARRENTY, NOW THEY SAY THAT WAS WHEN IT WAS NEW AND NOT FROM WHEN I PURCHASED IT. I AM SCARED TO DRIVE IT NOT KNOWING IF THE AIRBAG WILL DEPLOY OR IF THE STEERING WILL FAIL, NOT TO MENTION NOT BEING ABLE TO USE THE HORN. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF THERE IS ANYTHING I CAN DO ABOUT IT?
