It’s known that, due to design defects in the car’s steering system, a foreign object may get the chance to break in the electronics module of the steering column, damage the internal cables and further disable the horn and the driver-side airbag from deploying properly in accidents. Other models may also suffer from malfunctioning knots on the steering wheels that control the phone and audio functions.
