Driving down a residential street and all of a sudden my airbag light comes on and makes a chime noise. Now it does it off and on the whole time it IS being driven. Also if your sitting steal and you turn the steering wheel it will do it as well. I'm thinking it may be due to the clockspring.

After 3 hours of driving as I was approaching a red light, began braking the vehicle stalled. (21000 miles) after stopping I turned the key to off and then on but the vehicle did not start. I tried a second time and the vehicle started but rpm's were sporadic. After a few minutes everything leveled out and drove fine for the remaining 3 hour drive. The check engine light has been off and on since stalling with 5 visits to the dealer for correction. I now have 29000 miles on the vehicle. the dealer has replaced O2 sensors, replaced the gas cap, reprogrammed the computer and said there was nothing wrong and cleared the failures but not 10 minutes from leaving the dealership the check engine lights come back on. It has been 8000 miles and stalling has started happening more frequently. *Tr
