Q: After getting my car back from the mechanic, my steering wheel seems to be more sensitive to turning.
I recently had my passenger side airbag replaced due to a recall. After I got my vehicle back I noticed the steering to be more sensitive. Is it possible the mechanic messed with the steering ratio or something? Also, now my cabin air settings 1,2,and 3 do not work when I try to turn on the air in my car. Only setting 4 works. This may be unrelated, but it was not like that before I took my car in. Thanks for your help.
My car has an automatic transmission.
