You can replace the buttons. You will need to remove the airbag to do so though.

If you were pushing the buttons hard because they werent working, its because you have a brake light out. I broke mine the same way, Then it clicked that it wont work if a lights out.

Also, when you put the rear cover/shroud back on the steering wheel, make sure it fits properly/correctly over the buttons (there are cutouts on the shroud) as if you don't get this right, it can also put undue pressure on the buttons. GK

I've smashed the cover off two of 'em putting the steering lock on in the dark and inebriated. About $110 for a repacement.
