Just came back form Meinke, they said that because my streeing wheel was loose and moved back and forth that there was a chance my air bag would open given the right amount of vibration. For a while the steering would get kind of stuck and squeek when you turned it. Sometimes it felt like it was hard to turn, then it felt like it would release itself and be normal...now it just clicks and sqeeks, but pretty much stays the same, but is wabbly. This early deployment scares me...have you heard of this happening and since they don't make the steering colum anymore, they said, what should I do to be safe?

Should take the car and have it check by another shop
