What about trying to replacing the clockspring and the airbag was accidentally triggered, spent time in the hospital, a short friend three months with a broken neck, spend a huge fortune replacing that airbag, after installing the new clockspring, and it still doesn't work.
When airbags first came out, more kids were killed than AH drivers refusing to wear their safety belts, so a law was made that all kids under a certain height were no longer permitted to ride in the front seat.
Contemplated installing air bag switch, but laws are made by automotive ignorant attorneys that don't know crap about a vehicle. Four of my kids with three or more grandkids, had to buy gas guzzling minivans with no additional tax benefits.
That POS made in China ABS unit became law, positively worthless pulsing a one pulse per second, and close to 400 bucks for a remote tire gauge that you can't even see when adding air to a tire? Then blaming the Japanese company for airbags going off, they had nothing to do with how they were installed and how much crap the manufacturers are putting on top of these bombs.
Son was told he needed a new AT for $4,000.00! Was told this was his problem, good thing he has a dad that knows a thing or two about cars. Contact switches in his what they use to call a neutral safety switch were corroded, so would not energized a solenoid valve to engage a clutch.
Another friend paid $1,300.00 for a new PCM when just a couple of wires needed replaced. We use to use all plated 16 AWG gauge wire even for a tail light because it was more robust, now finding a lot of single strand 30 AWG wire in this new crap. And a huge cost of manufacturing a vehicle you pay for is going for liability insurance.
