The cooling system for the car does not work correctly. After a steady idle of about 5 minutes, the car will begin to get hot and the fans will kick on. Two minutes later it will do it again. The system it self seems ok, but the fan is constantly on and off. The motor get s so hot that the hood on my car is starting to turn. Next is the airbags. The airbag light for the passenger side is always on indicating a failure. The bag has never been deployed? Now the biggest problem is the top end of the motor. My check engine lights keeps coming on. Keeps saying misfire on cylinder 4. Everything has been replaced and I still get this code? My vehicle gets it regular maintenance and my mechanic said my car should not having these problems.

1 SRS clock spring failure 97,000 5 /yr. Results: air bag would not deploy (SRS light illuminated) , no horn, cruise control unexpectedly cuts out or does not work at all. 2 all of above remain disabled until clock spring is replaced.

Http://www.motortrend.com/roadtests/oneyear/112_0412_2004_chrysler_pacifica/index.html motortrend reports this failure twice in the 1 yr test and review of vehicle. Clock spring is ongoing issue for chrysler since 1998. 3 replace clock spring harness, old part available.
The clockspring inside my steering wheel is broken - it controls my airbags - when the airbag warning light came on, I took it to the dealer. They told me that they can't repair it because the part is on national backorder - this means that when I drive my vehicle, I have no airbags. They had no estimate of when the parts would be available. I do not want to drive my vehicle without airbags.
Tl*the contact owns a 2004 chrysler pacifica. Whenever the contact turns the vehicle, the air bag indicator illuminates. The dealer ordered a clock spring; however, the part has been on back order for over two weeks. As a result, the air bags would not deploy in the event of a crash. The contact does not feel safe driving the vehicle. The failure mileage was 14,200.
