On the air cond. We lose freon every year after we run the heater during the winter. Have had it checked and can't find a problem, but yet hot air come out when we run air cond. Until we have more freon put in. Air bag lights stays on all the time. Was told it is the spring, but yet they say it will not affect the air bag, but yet now the cruise control stopped working and was told that it was related to air bag spring but the cruise controll stopped working about 1 1/2 years later after airbag light started coming on and staying on.

Dealer would not replace clock spring under extended warranty. My cruise control is inoperative as well my air bag dash lite is on. Dodge has a problem with this and should be held accountable....thank you.... Jeff roberts.
Since I have had this vehicle, the air bag light comes on and will stay on thus I do not know if the air bag would work or not if needed. My cruise control alternates working and not as does the check engine light. Most of the time the check engine light is on and everytime I have had it checked, I have been told they reset it and everything look good. The computer does not show anything wrong. The cruise will come on sometimes and it will not at others. I think this vehicle as well as others I have talked to has a defect and I would like to see you check it out and have them do a recall and correct the electrical problems. I took my vehicle back several times during the first few months I had it for repairs and the same type probles keep occurring. My wipers will also at times come on with out being turned on. My sisters caravan does the same thing.

I was pulling out of a parking lot from a stop and the transmission went out. We had no warning whatsoever.the transmission cost us $1800. To replace. The air conditioner has been nothing but problems, we had a new compressor put in and have had the freeon replaced several different times.

Clock spring broke. This caused air bag, and cruise control not to work.
Failure of clock spring caused failure of airbag, cruise control and horn. Chrysler contacted and refused to pay for repair.
This problem if not corrected will eventually cause a fatality! No safety defect listed.
During a full frontal impact at 30-35 MPH (estimated), neither front air bag deployed. The initial review by the body shop indicates the extent of damage is significant enough to cause the vehicle to be totaled. The extent of injuries to my wife (driver) are unknown at this time as they have developed over the course of the day (pain in left wrist and hand, right elbow, and chest). She will be seeking medical attention.
Airbag system is inoperative due to a faulty clock spring switch. Dash light is on constantly. Took to dealer, and they said this happens frequently. Chrysler does not show condolence over this, and that people could dye in serious accident because air bag wont deploy. Consumer feels this is very dangerous because if crashing airbag will not deploy.
