I have had intermittent warnings on the dash that would pop up and disappear after a few seconds. It said -??Safety Restraint System-??. Now the warning is on continuously and the horn no longer works. I had the codes scanned at a local shop and I was told a code pops up saying -??B0013-04 Steering wheel airbag deployment loop stage 2- High resistance-?? I am worried the bag will not deploy in the case of a wreck. The vehicle has under 25,000 miles on the odometer. It is over 3 years of age so I worry it will not be under warranty.
