Air bag light constantly on, no horn no cruise control no radio control. Went to dealer for recall on airbag steering wheel clock spring and was told I would have to pay for diagnostic and also pay for part " in case it was not covered. This is not how a safety recall should be performed to my understanding

What 1999 Chrysler Town and Country owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
I was pulling into gas station when the van suddenly accelerated by itself.
My 1999 town and country imtermittenly will not start. We've taken it to the shop several times and they can find nothing wrong. The speedometer, tachometer, etc. Also has shut off by itshelf while driving.
No accident, crash, or injury. My air bag clock spring failed and my air bag warning light illuminated. I'm told by the dealer that my air bag will now not work (also my cruise control & steering wheel radio controls are not funtional). This is a serious safety issue & I am getting it repaired quickly at a cost of over $220. This should be paid for by daimler chrysler!.
Air bag indicator light is on constantly, horn doesn't work, stereo controls on steering wheel don't work, cruise control doesn't work. I'm afraid airbag won't deploy on accident and I can't honk my horn if immediate problem arises.
Air bag light stays on for 5-6 months, later cruise control & horn in steering wheel quit working. Took vehicle to body shop and they said clock spring had failed and needed replaced.
The clock spring mechanism in my 1999 chrysler t&c caused the airbag warning light to illuminate; other items in the steering wheel area do not work- 1) cruise control, 2) radio volume and station control, 3) horn
Air bag lamp lighted up in dashboard simultaneously losing horn and cruise control. Ar involved: chrysler town & country lxi, 1999.
Air bag light on dash board has been on for a week.ccording to the dealer the "clock spring" is defective and needs to be replaced. Currently, I have no air bag, horn, or cruise control. Where is a recall up to year 1998 but not 1999. My van was bulit in 1998 why is it not included in the recall? Maybe the recall should be expanded to include more years.
Submitting this complaint on behalf of my 80 yr. Old mother. 1999 town & country purchased new sept. 1999 now 40000 miles. Required repairs past 2 weeks. Airbag and horn $250, speedometer $135, cracked exhaust manifold cost to be determined. Airtconditioner $ to be determined est. To cost $1100. Our phone call to chrysler customer service (800‑426‑6451) was a horrible experiece.
