ON A LONG COMMUTE, I BEGAN HEARING A SCAPING SOUNDS AS I MANEUVERED THE STEERING WHEEL. AS TIME PASEED IT BECAME LOUDER AND I NOTICED A WIRE STICKING OUT BETWEEN THE STEERING WHEEL AND THE MOUNT. IT CONTINUED TO BECOME MORE AND MORE UNDONE.I ALSO NOTICED MY SRS LIGHT IS ON. THE LIGHT FOR THE ANTI SKID PROTECTION WAS SHOWING BOTH ON AND OFF, THEN EVENTUALLY WENT OUT COMPLETELY. FINALLY TOWARDS THE END OF MY DRIVE I WAS MAKING A RIGHT HAND TURN AND IT ACCELERATED FOR ONE SECOND ABSENT OF MY COMMAND TO DO SO.
