Is there a big white thing made of a thin material hanging loosely out of your steering wheel, like a big burst balloon? If so, there's your problem. If not, hope someone else can help.

if the red airbag light is showing, theres a fault with the air bag or a fault with the sensor. Either way get it seen to ASAP.
