Dealer today diagnoesd failure of rear wiper..and washer, and reduction of front wipers to one speed, plus no more audio controls from steering wheel center pad, and no more cruise control, as needing replacement of LEVER HUB AND CLOCKSPRING.

Parts must be ordered from New Jersey or Atlanta!

Is replacement of both typical? What kind of life to expect from these?

It's a 2005 V70, 130000KM

Thanks.

    Atypical, at least from a drier climate than the Pacific northwest. Clockspring failures used to be the norm for 850 cars, the horn would stop working. But now you have CC and radio controls in the steering wheel, so not only is the horn out, but the other gizmos also.
    The wiper stalk is not a big deal to replace, but it is a shame for so few miles and years.
