Suddenly, the clock spring in the steering column failed. I had no horn, cruise control and the air bag light came on. I had it replaced at a cost of $475. After repair I inspected the bad clock spring. The printed circuit spring cable came loose from its outer connector. I don't believe that it was anchored properly or it was improperly designed. I know of 2 other people who had the same problem with chrysler cars. Since the horn and airbag failed due to this part I believe that it is a safety problem.

1993 chrysler concorde - 3.3 liter v6 factory installed options: power windows power locks power trunk release A/C cruise control anti-lock brakes (traction control option not installed) (power radio antenna not installed) (optional transmission cooler radiator installed) (all factory recalls were completed on this particular car) current ongoing issues with car: 1) horn randomly goes off in warmer weather (80 f +) due to possible steering wheel construction issues or computer system intermittent issue or wiring harness issue. 2) electric trunk door opens at random and when this occurs, the door locks open by themselves and the horn goes off due to possible computer system intermittent issue or wiring harness issue. 3) instrument cluster gages shut off during driving and when this happens the transmission will shift itself into 1st gear or into reverse while in city traffic or on the freeway (regardless of current speed) due to possible computer system intermittent issue or wiring harness issue. (this is usually fun to experience while on the freeway at 70 MPH+)! Not! (rpms shoot up to over 6,000+) 4) instrument cluster does not work on engine start and when this occurs, the transmission is stuck in 2nd gear and will not down or up shift while driving until instrument cluster decides to work again due to possible computer system intermittent issue or wiring harness issue. 5) the front end was never in an accident, but, when I turn sharp to the right or left while parking or just pulling out of a driveway or onto a road from a parked position, the drive shafts or struts or arms themselves seem to shift and clunk very loudly (similar to a 40 lb. Sledge hammer being swung into your sub-frame in the front end). I have taken this car to 3 chrysler dealerships and 4 private garages and no one has figured it out. I replaced (2 front drive axles, 4 struts, stutt mounts, lower ball joints, tie rods, all rubber bushings in front end, rear sway bar and bushings).

Car sputters, check engine light will come on suddenly, car will stall. Has happened while driving on freeway, as well as stop and go traffic. Has caused several near crashes. I have to pull over when car stalls, put car into park, and restart with no problems. Happens on several occasions, without regard to gas level or speed.

Air bag light came on six months ago and never went off. Called two dealers, one wanted $80 to investigate the problem, 2nd said it's probably the "clock spring." air bag, horn and cruise control are all disabled. Does not fall under any warranty, I don't feel I should have to pay for the repair, this is not a routine maintenance item, it should be warrantied for the life of the car. Called chrysler customer service (ref. #14889231) no help there, not under warranty.

Our vehicle has stalled on numerous occasions while in motion. This is unsafe, and could possibly result in an accident, since when the vehicle stalls there is no power steering after the vehicle stalls. Sometimes the rpms drop down to near zero and the cruise control light comes on before it stalls. Occasionally the vehicle does not completely stall, and the engine recovers, resulting in a strong jerk. Also occasionally the car just jerks noticeably to strongly while driving. This has been going on noticeably for a few months, and we have had numerous repairs to our vehicle that have (potentially falsely) been diagnosed. None of these repairs have seemed to affect the stalling and jerking problems. The date given is the date of our most serious stalling events. It stalled several times that day while I was driving.
