Air bags and cruise control failed on 2000 dodge grand caravan.
The airbag light came on when driving my 2000 grand caravan. The light seems to come on when making a left turn, but at times it stays on for a while, then goes out; then at times it stays on for a while, and then goes out. No set pattern.
Dt: there was a recall for the clock spring/ air bag. The consumer took vehicle to the dealership and replaced it. The repair work was done on 8-22-05. They told consumer that if the air bag light stayed on indicating there is a problem. The repair work took longer than the recall notice stated that it would. After they did the recall repairs there was a problem with the air bag light fuse blowing. They replaced the fuse and it blew again. They found that there was a problem with the module. The consumer has not had the module replaced. When the consumer contacted the manufacturer, they told him that the module problem was not part of the recall, and they would give him some kind of discount for the problem with the module. The consumer stated the air bag was not working. Consumer felt that the problem with the module did not come about until he had the recall work done.
While driving 55 MPH, the consumer hit a deer. The air bag did not deploy. However, the consumer received a recall letter regarding the clock spring. Please provide any further information.
Air bag light appeared on the dashboard and remained on. Consumer took vehicle to the dealer for inspection, and mechanic determined that the recall was not for this vehicle. *ak

The clockspring and steering column in our 200 dodge grand caravan has been replaced several times, including several times under warranty, yet still rattles and makes noises. I have been advised by the zone office that it is indeed a safety problem (relating to the airbag) and they recommend I continue to get it fixed each time it breaks.
Airbag warning light came on during trip. Cruise control worked only intermittently then quit working completely. Airbag warning light stays on now.
I have a 2000 dodge grand caravan. I am quite certain my clockspring has broken and my airbag light stays lit all the time, and my horn and cruise control does not work.*ak I believe chrysler has not issued a recall for the 2000 model, but only for the 1996-1998 models. Yet searching the web reveals many, many problems with the 2000 models as well. This is a safey issue causes by chrysler's equippment and should be a provided free repair. Chrysler does not offer to repair it for free. I am currently out of my printing career and am having difficulty finding work again, so the $250 plus to have this repaired is a heavy load at this time. Chrysler should take care of this for all the 1999 and 2000 models as well. I know the federal safety agency is investigating this, but with hundreds of complains already filed, how much more information does it need to act? I dont know the process, but what should I do now? This is a saftey issue, and this is our familiy vehicle. Plus, the annual inspection is coming up in less than 4 months, and it will not pass without the horn and cruise and airbag broken. Thank you for any information and advice you can give me. Thanks again! John calogrides
My wife was involved in an accident on a 4 lane road and was going approximately 40-45 MPH when she hit another vehicle with almost no braking involved. Neither the drive or passenger airbag deployed. This was a major selling point when we purchased this vehicle since we would be using it to transport our family. If these do not work then the chrysler corporation should do everything to the best of it's ability to ensure that anyone that buys their products should get what they have paid for.
I own a 2000 dodge caravan. I recently had to replace a faulty clock spring. This is something that has been recalled on earlier models and was previously under lifetime warranty. I have 53,000 miles on the car and do not feel this should have been defective.
I like to file a complaint regarding 2000 dodge grand caravan. This vehicle has experienced the same problem other owners have complained about regarding the horn and air bag not functioning due to a defective clockspring harness. Chrysler has refused to recall this component or acknowledge this as a safety issue other than saying it should be fixed. Most mini-van owners transport families in these vehicles and it is a shame that chrysler won't do anything about it.
