Typical airbag symptoms owners report

Owners report frontal airbags failing to deploy during moderate-to-high speed crashes, including front-end collisions and rollovers.
Some describe the Takata airbag recall part being unavailable for over a month while continuing to drive the vehicle, with a crash occurring during that wait.
Several owners report the clockspring assembly failing between 25,000 and 70,000 miles, which disables the airbag and triggers a warning light.
Clockspring failures are also linked to a non-working horn and, in one case, a stereo burning out and steering column losing electrical function.

Owners describe the airbag warning light cycling on and off unpredictably regardless of speed or steering direction.
