No accident, crash, or injury. My air bag clock spring failed and my air bag warning light illuminated. I'm told by the dealer that my air bag will now not work (also my cruise control & steering wheel radio controls are not funtional). This is a serious safety issue & I am getting it repaired quickly at a cost of over $220. This should be paid for by daimler chrysler!.
