- Warwick, PA, USA
All steering wheel electrical function not working, including horn, air can not deploy, vehicle had this issue when new and clock spring and wiring was replaced 3 years ago, then recall was done for air bag and now the same problem. Last week almost involved in accident and could not use horn to alert other driver. Cruise control functions also do not operate, I am afraid to let wife drive with kids since air bag will not function if accident happens.

Service airbag system. Service electronic braking system. Service pwer steering. Service electronic trottle conteol. Service power steering. These came up wore throng it on to leave for the day. That happened 2 times. Truck had to be towed. Upload to software was done. 2 days later the A/C fan went out. It was replaced but still turned off antway. Dealer stayed radio need to be replaced. 5 wks latter - it's beyond installed. Dealer stayed software upload had nothing to do with radio mess up. I beg to differ. Radio controls alot of stuff critical to the function of the truck. It's happened several times for over 8 months. It's been in the shop more than I've driven.

April 15th 2017 I was leaving a friends house where my vehicle was park. I got in my vehicle and started the engine. When all the gauges lite up for the system check I noticed my air bag light was still on. I tried to turn off the engine and then restart the vehicle but was unsuccessful. The air bag light was still on. For the next 3 days and still, my air bag light is on and I get periodically a message on my dash stating "service air bag".

I had the 2 air bag recalls work performed at dealership. Less than 2 months later the service airbag system light and message indicator came on upon cranking and stayed on, so I took it immediately to the dealer. They kept it for several days. They said the harness connector was bad and they needed to order a new one. The next day they called and said the truck was ready. They told me they had simply bent the harness connectors and that solved the problem. A month or so later the light came on and stayed on upon cranking. I took it in to the dealer. The service tech pulled on of my boys' small footballs from under the driver seat and fiddled with the harness and said that it would probably fix it, but come back if not. (up until now was before three years or 36,000 miles had elapsed.) I took the truck in for the recommended 30,000 mile service and stressed that warranty period would soon run so check air bag light and everything else. A few more months go by and the air bag system light and message indicator comes back on but goes off within a few minutes. I called the dealer service department and tech said "as long as it goes off it is ok. It sometimes just does a self-check on the system." After a couple of days no more light. A few weeks ago the light and message indicator came one and went off within a few minutes. Now the intermittent air bag system light and message indicator continues (generally upon cranking, but often while driving). Sometimes multiple times a day; sometime not for a day or so. I cannot get dealer to return my calls.
