Ea 01 007/air bag clockspring: Air bag sensor light remained on while traveling. Also, horn and the cruise control were inoperative. Dealer/manufacturer were notified, and informed thatthey were not covered under a recall. Feel free to provide any further information on this matter.
Consumer stated while merging on interstate and starts to accelerate vehicle, vehicle stalls at 50mph. Vehicle loses all power. Consumer also stated vehicle starts back up immediately. Contacted dealer and dealer can't find anything wrong.
I have experienced failures in my steering colmn which does not allow me to use my horn, cruise control, and I am afraid that my air bag does not work. The airbag light stays on along with ABS and intermitant other lights. I have had to repair my transmission and it still does not work properly. Slipping from time to time. The rear A/C fan switch only works in the low and high position. Trassmision gives off a burning smell when hot.

Air bag light has come on and stayed on. Also, cruise control has failed to function. Dealership has examined vehicle and determined that clock spring assembly was a defective component. Please provide any additional information/attachments.
Cruise control failed first - then airbag light started coming on at random - horn worked throughout. Took vehicle to dealer. Dealer repaired on 04/04/01. Repair order shows "clock spring, open circuit".
Speed control dis-engaged at 70 mph, speedometer needle dropped to approx 40 mph, then bounced back to approx 55 mph, shut off speed control then turned back on and work fine. This happened one other time in May 2000. Both times it was after slowing down by touching brake, using gas pedal to control speed, then pushing the resume button on speed control.
Traveling short distances driver begins to accelerate. Steering column begins to vibrate and automatic transmission jerks. This constitutes poor handling.
