Some wires within the steering wheel deteriorated causing my driver air bag to no longer be connected and my horn no longer works to alert other drivers.

The driver restraint system malfunctioned out of the blue. It’s still at the dealership where I’m paying to have it diagnosed. This problem is so common it is a running joke on twitter, yet there’s no recall on my car that is only 8 years old.
