The clock spring in the steering wheel failed. Also referred to as the steering column electronic control module. The failure illuminated the airbag warning light and all the steering wheel switches and horn stopped working. It was just over the 50,000 mi warranty so dealer would not repair.
Airbag light continues to stay on. I had an accident back in 2014 and the airbag never deployed. The steering column ignition switch locked and my key was stuck with the car still running on in a station place. I was trying to park the car and my ignition switch locked and would not moved and kept the key locked in it. I kept trying to move the jiggle the wheel and turn the key but it cause the key to break off in the ignition switch. I had to pair to get the ignition switch replaced and the key replaced. Also after that the horn stop working and I was told it was because the clock spring had to be replaced. I paid again to had the clock spring replaced however the horn now is going in an out. The horn will sound off one day and then for a couple of days it will not work. This happen only 2 weeks after getting the clock spring fixed. Also the horn is not loud it barely makes a noise. Now the sensor light is on for the engine and I was already told there's nothing wrong with the engine.
