I was driving on the expressway when a car on the shoulder pulled out without seeing me. I went to honk my horn and it didn't work. I luckily swerved into the next lane without hitting the car in the next lane. I found out it's not just my horn but the cock spring needs replacing. Nothing on my steering wheel works now and my airbag warning light stays on.

We took the vehicle to the dealer and they wanted $1,000 to fix two seat belts in the rear seat, center rear seat and…

The seat belts buckles are craking in half on my car. The dealer replaced one on the front right of the car. It was totally cracked in half, the plastic cover over the metal bucklet that the strap pass through. The rear buckles are beginning to show the same cracking but they did not replace them because they were not totally cracked in half yet. I think that many parts of the car have to be taken apart to do this…
