On may 3rd 2014 I was on my way to work I looked down and ran off the road I was trying to slowly get back on the road. I didn't stomp the brake because I was afraid I would flip my car. I forgot I had my cruise control on. My car was front wheel drive and as the tires grabbed it through me in to the guard rail on the opposite side of the road. My car went into a spin and finally stopped. My seat belt grabbed and knocked the breath out of me. My seat belt did not come out. I am still recovering. The adjuster said it was totaled. [xxx] may 17th 2014. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6)

Horn sounded squeaky, then inoperative. Airbag light went on. Cruise no longer worked. Toyota diagnosed the spiral cable a/k/a clock needed replacement. Other vehicles, including toyotas, had recalls on this. It should not have malfunctioned at this age of the car, only 108,000 miles. Should have been a recall, paid by toyota. It cost me nearly $500 to get it fixed. Maybe the cable was damaged when the steering lock bar was fixed, on a previous recall (years prior).???
