My air bag light indicator activated, and at the same time my horn stopped working! After having it checked out by a repair shop, it was determined that a faulty clock spring assembly is the cause of the problem.

I have been told by a Jeep dealership that the cost of repairs will exceed $400.00, and that my vehicle is currently not on the recall list. How is it possible that clock spring assembly's are that much different amongst the different VIN numbers?

I have a 2003 Jeep liberty sport and I was recently driving it when the entire system completely shut down. I was able to pull over to the side of the road.
