    CLOCKSPRING UNIT FAILS TO PROVIDE POWER TO AIRBAG, HORN AND CRUISE CONTROL SWITCHES IN STEERING WHEEL. THIS UNIT CAN FAIL IN AN ACCIDENT AND PREVENT AIRBAG FROM BEING DEPLOYED. DC HAS SOLD OVER 150,000 REPLACEMENT CLOCKSPRINGS AT OVER $250 A PIECE. THIS IS AN OBVIOUS MANUFACTURES DEFECT. I WAS UNABLE TO BLOW MY HORN AT ANOTHER DRIVER TO GET HIS ATTENTION. LUCKILY NO ACCIDENT OCCURRED. HOWEVER UNIT HAS TO BE REPLACED AS I AM WITH NO HORN, NO CRUISE CONTROL CONTROLS, AND AN AIRBAG MALFUNCTION LIGHT.*AK

    - BALTIMORE, MD

    WE KEEP THE TIRES AT THE VEHICLE MANUFACTURER'S RECOMMENDED 35 PSI. THE AMBIENT TEMPERATURE WAS BETWEEN 75 AND 80 DEG. WE WERE TRAVELING ABOUT 30 MPH AND THE VEHICLE WAS NOT HEAVILY LOADED. WE DID NOT HIT ANY OBJECT IN THE ROAD NOR ANY POTHOLE. THERE WAS NO WARNING SUCH AS VIBRATION IN THE REAR OR BOUNCING OF THE WHEEL. THE SIDEWALL OF THE TIRE RUPTURED SUDDENLY WITH A RIP IN THE SIDEWALL ALMOST FROM WHERE IT MEETS THE RIM, STRAIGHT ACROSS THE SIDEWALL RADIALLY AND SLIGHTLY INTO THE TREAD. IF THIS HAD HAPPENED AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS INSTEAD OF IN A 30 MPH ZONE, THIS INCIDENT COULD HAVE CAUSED A SERIOUS ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF THE SUDDENNESS OF THE TIRE FAILURE.*AK
