A further clue perhaps

I am older than cars are themselves and am fitted to all of them.

When I fail, you might not notice but you can hear me and you'll blame something else first

On some cars both i and my friends are conjoined: whereas on others, whilst my friends and i work together; we are separate entities.

What am I?

I'm bathed in some kind of Nirvana for my lifetime unless my friend is ruptured: then I seize that moment

No, not that either.

All the guesses have in the right area of the car but have managed to miss the actual thing

And yet another clue.

Well done, Nairn, your go

I was going to say that

I've certainly evolved, at the same time my original function is still ever present but optional for some.

Nope

My original core function is not car related but my modern name is. Though cars only use half my abilities  

Some options will make a dog bark, while the birds sing.

Although I'm flexible: i twist and writhe in my seat, but remain tight and true for you

What am I?
