I have a 1996 chrysler town and country minivan and for over a month the air bag light began to stay on. I didn't worry about it as I believed that it was likely that my air bag still worked, but I was certainly wrong about that. My cruise control was and still is operating erratically. Yesterday I discovered that the horn did not work. I also was told that all three problems were likely caused by a broken or damaged clock spring. I believe that chrysler should definitely b e required to issue a recall regarding these serious safety defects (the air bag and the horn are safety equipment) and repair it completely for the owners at no charge. *nlm **dimsii ivoq entry posted after 12/12/02 cut-over to artemis*763081
Airbag light stays on or blinks intermittently, horn and cruise control doesn't work - ***dangerous*** - will have dealer replace defective clockspring harness - recall???
The vehicle was involved in a frontal collision, and the air bags did not deploy. *ak the consumer was injured.
My cruise control is intermittent, my airbag light comes on intermittenly, might windshield wipers come on intermittently. Horn sporadically does not work.
Failure of part caused cruise control, horn and airbag to be non-operational. This is a safety hazard that occured at 65 MPH on the freeway. If an accident had occured, I would have been unable to operate the horn to alert another vehicle and the airbag would not have deployed. In addition, the cruise control failed while in use on the freeway which also could have resulted in an accident.

Clockspring failure causing driver's airbag/ cruise control, and horn to stop functioning.
Clock spring failure just like the ones that failed on several friends chrysler mini-vans. This causes the horn to stop, airbag light to come on, and the cruise control to stop working. This is a safety item and the federal safety agency need to investigate chrysler on this and go public!!!!
