The airbag light will not go off it stays on all the time when it is on the heater windows horn and rear back up lights and rear defroster do not work with no heater/defroster it is near impossible to keep the ice off the inside and outside of the windows even while having the passenger constantly trying to scrape off the ice it just instantly re freezes causing very dangerous and hazardous driving conditions due to this the car went off the road and crashed into a deep ditch the air bags did not deploy and we had to be towed out of the ditch with a hoist and a lift and back to the road by a commercial wrecker from what I have seen and heard when searching the internet for information this problem is most likely caused by the clock stop the same problem which prompted a recall on dodge and chrysler mini vans of the same year why wasn't this car recalled too? I know I am not the only one with this problem there are thousands and thousands of complaints listed on the internet for this same problem by other dodge intrepid owners this is a very serious safety hazard also the fact the windows don't work can cause entrapment in the vehicle
