I started having SRS airbag lights coming on and losing functionality to the steering wheel cruise controls. This is a sure sign that the clockspring is broken. I didn't know what a clockspring was until it broke. It's basically a wrapped bundle of wires that can spin with your steering wheel while maintaining a connection. Over time these wire bundles rub each other or simply break. It took me a little less than 2 hours to repair but I was able to find the part online pretty cheap.
I just think it's pretty crappy how the clock spring goes out. It's between $250, that is if you're doing it yourself and upwards of $550 if you have someone else do it. Without it being replaced you have no cruise control, no horn which is definitely a very big safety hazard. I think there's been enough complaints in forums and whatnot that I believe it should be a recall that Nissan fixes for us.
