Hi atml29,

Steering wheel vibration are usually due to unbalanced or bad tires. Get the wheels balanced and if it does not solve the problem, check the drive trains and wheel bearings.

The Air bag light showing could be due to clock spring or any other components and you need a diagnostic scan to find the source of problem.
