What owners report
My car is driving okay but itâs having some electrical issues and it shuts down.
When the airbag light comes on and is visible on the dashboard, this action shorts out the ac, heat, as well as the defroster. This airbag light is a constantly lit up and will not go out. I have been told that there is a problem with the clock spring on this vehicle. This has been an on going problem for several years now. So this tells me that when the airbag light comes on, the airbag does not work. This would become a hazard in a head on collision, which would cause the airbag not to deploy.
Clock spring shorts out the electrical system. It causes the AC and heat not to work and no blower motor. This could cause others problems as well
