The airbag light came on and never went out. The horn didnt work, cruise control didnt work, and dealer said the airbag would deploy while driving. I have 2 caravans and the other is a '96 and that one was diagnosed at the dealer for 35 dollars and they told me it needed a new airbag and a clockspring for over $1,000 dollars. Later finding out they lied saying it need the whole airbag in reality it only needed the clockspring, I replace the clockspring on both my vans. The dealer wanted 250 dollars a peice to install it. This is a safety issue. The horn doesnt work and the airbag could deploy at anytime. Mr

While driving air bag light stays illuminated.
The air bag indicator light came on and stayed on and now the cruise control and horn do not work. I have researched this problem and it seems that this is a very common problem. It is stated that the "clock spring" is the part in question, this seems to have been a safety issue at one time (the federal safety agency# 98v046) for a different model , why is it not a safety recall item now? It is my understanding the the air bag will not perform with this particular part defective, which would lead me to believe that this could cause serious damages or worse yet "death ". If we get a reduction in our insurance premiums for purchasing restraint systems such as this , it should be upon the manufacturer to stand behind the product.
Airbag, horn, and cruise control all failed at the same time. Cause is the clockspring module behind the steering wheel. This is a safefy hazzard and chrysler should pay the repair. This is a common problem on this mini van.
Another car hit consumer's vehicle front left end at a high speed and the air bags did not deploy, causing injuries. *ak the airbag sensor had broken.
While applying brakes air bag deployed, cause injuries to consumer.
