The air bag light stays on all the time the clock spring was replaced then it happened again. This is a major screw up. It is amazing someone has not been hurt or worse killed. Unlike many others we still had cruise control and the horn. What is it going to take to make chrysler stand up and take control of this situation. Lord knows they got enough of our bail out money to fix all the cars several times over. Please do the right thing and recall your product.

What owners say
Tl*the contact owns a 2002 dodge caravan. In 2007, the contact broadsided another vehicle and neither front air bags deployed. There were no injuries, but the vehicle sustained $3,800 worth of damage. A police report was filed and the vehicle was repaired. Prior to the crash, the horn and cruise control failed, and the air bag light flickered and then remained illuminated. There was a recall from 1998 to 2000 regarding the clock spring. The speed and VIN were unknown. The current mileage was 74,000 and failure mileage was 73,000.
The clockspring on my 2002 dodge caravan se has failed, causing the airbag , horn and cruise control to fail. Based on what I've read online, this was a cause for a recall in earlier models up to 2000. This recall should be extended to include models manufactured after the year 2000, as it seems quite prevalent.
Air bag lamp remains on. Diagnosed at dealer as clockspring failure. Cruise control issues as well. Like so many other caravan owners.
Dt*: the contact stated the vehicle stalled intermittently and occurred at no particular speed; however, the vehicle immediately restarted. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for diagnostic testing, but the problem could not be duplicated. Update 5/2/2006 - all the dash lights flickered and the cruise control light illuminated. The dealer replaced the battery.
Vin # [xxx]. I will bringing my van to ray brandt dodge for at least the 4th time because the airbag light keeps coming on. My clockspring has been changed twice, once under warranty and 2 weeks ago at my expense. Yes, I frequently have problems with my horn and my cruise control. I thought it was me not pressing in ther right place. *ak updated 07/30/2012 *js information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6)
