I took my 2000 chrysler mini van to the conyer, ga dealership to find out why my airbag light came on and my horn stopped working and I was told by the service man that I would be charge $89.00 just for them to look at the problem. I just recently found out that this is a major problem with all mini vans dating back several years ago. I was almost hit by another vehicle because my horn in my van wasn't working. This is a safety issue and the manufacturer should issue a immediate recall before someone gets kill.
The air bag light appeared on the dashboard and remained on. The driver noticed while pressing the horn it had no sound. The driver was able to drive to the dealer for inspection. The mechanic informed the driver that the clock spring needed to be replaced.. Please provide additional information.
