The spring coil in the steering wheel started clicking and making more noise as i make every turn. i took it in to honda dealership and the replaced the part. the next day it has started making the same noise but worse. it is louder and makes me now feel uncomfortable driving my vehicle.
All of the safety feature lights turned on. the dealer's solution was for me to pay attention when i drive and wipe the senor because everything works fine. i was also told to bring it in and they can get the lights to turn off by turning off all of the safety features.
