Adaptive cruise control problems by model year
What owners say
1) driving, and turning the steering wheel is what caused the failure 2)something broke in the steering column. Now nothing works on the steering wheel.

Tl*the contact owns a 2000 chrysler town and country. While driving approximately 60 MPH on normal road conditions, the air bag warning indicator illuminated on the instrument panel. The indicator remained lit until the engine was turned off. In addition, the cruise control worked intermittently. Recently, the vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer and they stated that the federal safety agency campaign id number 04v480000 (air bags) was related to the air bag clockspring assembly. The technician stated that a diagnostic must be performed to warrant the recall defect repair. The diagnostic test cost $90. The contact was displeased to know that there was a cost associated with the recall defect remedy. The vehicle has not been repaired. The failure mileage was 150,000 and current mileage was 153,000.
The clock spring lost the connection to the electrical system. As a result, horn, air bags, and cruise control become inoperable.
I have a 2000 chrysler town and country limited all wheel drive mini van. I brought the van in for service on june 30th because the airbag light was staying on , also nothing was working on the steering wheel. The radio controls, the cruise control, the horn, and I presume the airbag. The dealer is charging me $500.00 to replace the clock spring in the steering wheel. This is a electronic control box that operates everything in the steering wheel. There should be a recall on this part.
Airbag warning light illuminated and horn, radio and cruise control functions on the steering wheel stopped functioning. This is related to a "clock spring" mechanism that was similar to prior year recalls, but not included in the 2000 my.
I had a clicking in my steering wheel with air bag light going on & off then it final stayed on. I had no horn or cruise control or radio controls on steering wheel. Took to dealer for repair.
Cruise control fails to disengage when brake is tapped.
