I have a 1999 dodge caravan with 52000 miles and the the clockspring has gone bad chyrsler will not fix unless paid. As a mechanic I have seen quite a few in 1999 dodges this must be added to the original recall. This is a safety issue.
I was viewing your website for complaints regarding 99 dodge caravans. I just had to have my van in the shop due to a problem which seems to have been a dodge problem for several years now.. The clockspring in my van has gone out, which causes my airbag no longer to work, my horn does not work, and my cruise control no longer works. They want to charge me 260.00 to replace this part. Under my own investigation, I have found that from 96-98 minivans have all had this part recalled because of all the problems I suppose they are having on this part. And now from 2000 - 2001 dodge trucks are now having a recall done on this same clockspring part! My question is why is there not a recall on this part for 99 vehicles especially considering all the previous and current problems that keep occuring.. You would think an airbag problem, would be a huge safety concern for any vehicle. And especially on dodge/chrysler products given their history with problems concerning this part!
Air bag, horn, cruise control..... Clockspring deffect
Air bag light on and horn, cruise control not working. Dealer said its my problem & will cost $300+. I know there have been numerous complaints of same prob. & other year models recalled for same problem. The dealer told me the air bag will not deploy in a crash.

While driving at any speed, the air bag warning light appeared on the dashboard. Consumer was informed by the dealership that the clock spring failed. *ak when the clockspring failed, it also caused the cruise control to be inoperative.
Horn has stopped working. Air bag light came on. We have been told to get this fixed immediately due to safety reasons. Already we have paid $35.99 for them to tell us it is the clockspring assembly. It will be at least another $165 (not including the postage charge for them to order parts) to fix it. Why is this not a safety recall?
Airbag light is on and horn don,t work, this is a safety issue. Went and had a diagnosis done came back as squibb on drivers side. We will fix the problem by changing the clockspring for $200+.why do I have to pay for it ?and I don't understand why 1996,1997,1998 & 2000 but not 1999 a piece of electric tape covers the airbag light rather nice.
