| On the afternoon of november 4th, 2012 while operating my mazda at approximately 20 mph, smoke started coming from the steering wheel. i pulled to the side of the road and came to a complete stop. fearful for what was causing the smoke, i exited the vehicle. as i closed the door, the driver's airbag deployed. two minutes later, the horn sounded for about a minute and then shut off. smoke continued to billow inside the vehicle for approximately 20 minutes. i had the vehicle towed to the local mazda dealership. their service department thinks that i had a faulty clockspring. they are replacing the clockspring, air bag module and air bag. i purchased the vehicle new from mazda in 2007. it has never been involved in an accident. *tr | |||
