I own a dodge caravan 2000. The airbag light came on and the horn stopped working. I asked the service advisor at koon's ford (falls church, va 703.241.1000, dealer code 35-44341) if this was normal and they said this was the first car they had seen with these problems (clockspring). I researched this on the internet and I found that 5% of all 1996~2000 caravan models have had the clockspring replaced because of these problems at the cost of the consumer. I believe this is a safety issue, that the 1996-2000 dodge caravan should be recalled and the clockspring mechanism should be repaired free of charge. Please let me know if I can provide further information. Thank you for your attention to this important safety problem.

My year2000 dodge caravan slipped away 3 times on road. First time is in june or july 2002 in tucson arizona, then next day I sent it to car dealer for checking it up and they didn't find anything was wrong. The same thing happened early this year in austin, texas and I sent it to dealer to check up again and they didn't find out anything was wrongagain. The third time in mid june and I didn't sent it to dealer this time because I am very disappointed by their previous checking up. Now I'm very afraid of driving this car. However, I have to use this car because my family members including 2 kids, grandparents, my husband and I need it and I don't have any money to replace it now. Can you help me to find out this solution? Thanks.

Initial impact to front driver's side and air bag did not deploy) I had contacted a law firm which indicated they couldn't sue for at least a million dollars, so I contacted daimler chrysler who indicated that they investigated the wreck and reported, "))) that due to the spinning type of accident)))" and it was not subjected to the necessary g forces required and that, "obviously, in reviewing the police report, this is not the type of impact your vehicle was involved in)" the police report indicates that I was doing 50 to 70 MPH upon first impact with a guard rail, almost head on) they even indicated specifically that the driver's side air bag did not deploy) I am sure that this was not a valid analysis and wanted to officially inform you that, while I was not seriuosly injured and was alone in the accident, I am concerned that the air bag deployment is faulty in these vehicles) I have pictures of a severly dented steering wheel which happened upon impact) if that's not enough g force, then they need to reengineer the thing!
