Failure of part caused cruise control, horn and airbag to be non-operational. This is a safety hazard that occured at 65 mph on the freeway. If an accident had occured, I would have been unable to operate the horn to alert another vehicle and the airbag would not have deployed. In addition, the cruise control failed while in use on the freeway which also could have resulted in an accident.
