Air bag warning light came on and horn stopped working. Was told it was a clock spring and needed replaced so both would work properly. Also noticed dodge had a recall on this item for years 96-98. Well the problem still exsists on the 1999.
1999 Dodge Grand Caravan airbags complaints
Page 3 of 4: complaints 41 to 70 of 83, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Vehicle was involved in a crash at approximately 70mph into the rear of another vehicle traveling at approximately 40mph in the same direction of travel. This would constitute the vehicle in question hitting at 30mph. *ak frontal air bags failed to deploy duing the event of a crash. Nothing has been done to correct the failure at this point.
I have a 1999 dodge grand caravan and it has recently had the air bag light illuminated constantly, in addition the cruise control and horn do not work. This is clearly the clockspring issue as identified by the federal safety agency recent recall on the 1996-1998 gr caravans. I will be having to pay for this replacement at a cost of $250. I would like this investigated as it seems awfully coincidental to the 1996-1998 problem.
The clockspring went out on my wifes 1999 dodge grand caravan, causing the air bag light to illuminate,the horn to stop working,and the cruise control to fail.
Air bag light stays on. There is no horn or cruise control either. Dealer refuses to repair, saying the extended warranty does not cover any air bags or safety restraint system.
Airbag warning light is on, horn and cruise contol does not work. The dealer is saying that my vehicle is not covered by the clockspring recall. It should be, as this is a known manufacturing defect.
Cruise control does not work. Horn does not work and air bag warning light flashes on and off.
Air bag light stays on, horn does not work and cruise control does not work on my 1999 dodge grand caravan.
Clock spring malfunctioned. As a result, the airbag sensor light stayed on, and horn become inoperative.
My "clockspring" wiring harness that controls power to the driver-sdie airbag, horn, and cruise control has failed on my 1999 dodge grand cavan (~45,000 miles) VIN [xxx]. This is a safety issue and a clearly defective part that is involved in other recalls, yet chrysler will not replace the part for free.*ak *js information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6)
While driving 25 MPH the vehicle went over a pot hole and both front air bags deployed. The front passenger's side axle also broke. *nlm
I have a 1999 dodge grand caravan, with a failed clockspring. I found recalls for this , but my dealer says that my VIN. # isnt covered. I dont understand how other models are covered and mine is not.
When vehicle is started air bag light comes on and stays on. When air bag light comes on neither horn nor or cruise control work. Consumer feels that the clock spring is the problem, but is not absolutely sure.
The steering wheel in my 1999 dodge grand caravan se started making popping noises whenever I turned the wheel. I brought the vehicle into a chrysler service center since I have an extended warrenty on it. I was told that the clockspring had gone bad and needed to be replaced. I was also told that this was not covered under warranty. It cost me $250 to get this fixed. I've heard there was an investigation on this being possibly a recall item. At the very least, something like this should be covered under warranty. I have kept the receipt of this problem and would like to be notified if I can get some feedback/reimbursement for this.
The air bag light illuminated, the cruise control and horn were not working. The dealer replaced the clock spring at the owner's expense of $300 dollars. *nm the consumer requested reimbursement for the repair(s). *sc
1999 dodge grand caravan started to have intermittant 'airbag' light illuminated in turns. Within a day, the light stayed on steady and the horn and speed control stopped working. I understand that there was a recall up through the 1998 models and then the clockspring assembly was replaced with a newer model. It seems that the 'new' clockspring is also defective and I believe that the 1999 and later model minivans need to be included in the previous recall.
We purchased a used 1999 grand caravan. Through research we found the clockspring was the problem. Crysler refuses to fix it because they said a different part was used after the last recall. They said save our receipt and if there actually a recall we would be reimbursed 100%.
Clock assembly faulty on 1999 grand caravan. This vehicle is used as a company van. First aiirbag light came on then the cruise control and horn stopped working. Twice in emergency situations the horn did not work. Had clock assembly replaced at a cost of $304.53. This seems to be a manufacturer problem and a recall should be in place.
I have a 1999 dodge grand caravan with the "air bag" light on. I have been told that I need the "clock spring" replaced. There was a recall on this issue with dodge in 1998 and 1999. I will send feedback to you when I get this fixed. I also will keep the part that is replaced. Many thanks john bousman.
Re: 1999 dodge grand caravan had intermittent and then constant air bag light followed shortly thereafter by simultaneous loss of cruise control & horn.
The vehicle experienced the same defect with the clock spring as stated in recall 02 v 2930 000, however the vehicle identification number, model, and year were not included. *jb
The clock spring failed, which resulted in the airbag, horn and cruise control functions being inoperative. (the related recall# 02v293000) the consumer's vehicle was not included due to the vehicle identification number. Ak the air bag light stayed on. The air bag light was intermittent and when the light had come on, the cruise control and horn would not work. *scc
The airbag light stays on all the time, the horn will not sound, and the cruise control does not work. The dealer had to replace the clockspring on my 1999 dodge caravan. Diamler-chrysler had a recall on their 1996,1997,and 1998 dodge caravans. We owned a 1996 dodge caravan which we bought from the dealer and had it registered. We had to have that clockspring replaced apparently before the recall and we were not notified of that recall.
The vehicle experienced a problem with the air bag, there was a recall regarding the issue, # 02 v 293 000, however the vehicle identification number was not included. *jb
