What 2001 Chrysler Voyager owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
Airbag restraint light keeps coming on on dash and window won't go down on drivers side. The window will not work most of the time and the airbag warning light comes on when turning left.
Tl* the contact owns a 2001 chrysler voyager. When operating the vehicle, the horn would occasionally stop working and eventually stopped operating permanently. In addition, the air bag sensor intermittently illuminated while operating the vehicle. The sensor permanently remained illuminated after starting the vehicle. The cause of the failures was not diagnosed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 105,000. ...updated 10/19/17 *bf the consumer stated the clockspring failed. The vehicle was repaired. Updated 11/1/2017
The horn and cruise control stopped working and the airbag light came on. It would not pass inspection. It happend while in motion and stationary. They said that the clock spring was broken and needed to be replaced. There is a recall on the 1996-1998 models for the broken clockspring but not the 2001. I see lots of comments that this is an issue beyond those model years included in the recall. They need to extend the recall beyond 1998 since this is an issue with more than those 2 years!
Air bag light flash on and then turns off and then stays on.when going over potholes it also comes on and stays on for long periods of times.
Around end off 2013 my airbag lights off and on ,when driving the airbag lights went off,then came back on. On 2014 I took the vehicle to the mechanic shop and replace the parts inside the steering airbag timer clock. At present mileage 88,000. Hardly drive, garage kept. Please tell me what should I do or any sensor link to the airbag lights.
