Driver's side air bag, the horn and the cruise control do not work. It is quite obvious that these defects are caused by a defective clock spring. This was a matter of recall for the dodge caravan and grand caravan, plymouth voyager and grand voyager and chrysler town and country from the 1996-2000 model years. Our car is 2001 model and is not in a recall list, but it is quite obvious to me that the defect was not fixed in 2001 year models. Am I alone complaining about this unfixed problem?

The air bag light keeps coming on and then goes out. I believes it the same problem covered for previous year models included in the clock spring the federal safety agency recall 04v480000. I believe the recall should be extended to all year models since it's the same problem. It happens at various driving speeds.
