Faulty clock spring. Same symptoms as recall #04v480000 for chrysler mini-vans mfd. Through 08-31-2000. Although mine is a 2001 model, it was mfd. Soon there after nov.. 2000. Why no recall for the '01? Again same symptoms: air bag light on nearly all the time, horn doesn't work, steering wheel radio controls do not work. A faulty clock spring I'm told. Vehicle exhibits these symptoms across all driving conditions.

The air bag light stays on after I start the car. Vehicle has approximately 95,000 miles. The technician scan shows fault code for "driver squib #1 circuit open" and he is telling me it is a clockspring fault. There was a recall for the clockspring in 2004, however when I called the dealer he said that my VIN is not included. How did chrysler decide that my vehicle should not be included in the recall?

The airbag light kept going on and off while driving. Checked on the computer and found where this was a problem with chrysler products from 1994-2000 caused by a faulty clockspring. There was a recall on these models. Mine is a 2001 chrysler limited minivan with only 66,900 miles on it and cost me $357.00 to get it fixed. Depending on when this car was manufactured, it could still have the same brand clockspring as the other years.
