Takata recall - driver's side air bag stopped working the horn stopped working while I was driving. I found out that the horn wasn't working as I was almost killed by someone moving in to my lane and directly toward my car. Luckily, they saw me at the last minute. , all computer communication in the steering column stopped working. Looked on line and saw that these issues were caused by a bad clock switch. Took the car to the dealer and I was told there was no recall for my car. They told me that the clock spring was no longer covered by warranty because I had 50,000 miles on the car. The dealer wanted to charge me 800. 00 to fix the clock spring.
