Clockspring "broke" airbag light came on and horn/cruise control would not work . Replaced, but same symptoms are happening again. Transmission failed and was replaced. I found this has happened in so many minivans made by chrysler.
More than a dozen times this van will not start. Dealership cannot locate problem, and usually it occurs from cold start, but has also occurred over 5 times while driving and this is not safe. Also lost transmission sensor and that killed car while driving but has been replaced. Chrysler is not helping and I am nervous driving my kids in this van. Had it 2 years and have been stranded more than a dozen times. Noticed others with similar unsafe situations and hope chrysler will address them soon.

Now, I read in paper that this assembly has failed in numerous caravans from 1996 to 2000. Please advise if this is going to be a recall and if I can be compensated for my expenditures. In retrospect, it seemed as if the dealer knew exactly what problem I had and what needed to be done when I made the appointment; in other words, mine was not the first problem like this that they saw. Thank you
