Parking my 2000 dodge neon off an ashphalt road onto gravel drive way. I was parking at normal safe speed, as I put the car into park my air bag light came on, and the car shut off. Now the horn will not blow, and steering is tighter than normal. I called the dealership where I purchased the car, and they told me it sounded like the "clock spring", and was not hazadarous to drive. I noticed there is a recall on another model of dodge van for the same part, why isn't there been one for neon? Why is this not considered a safety hazaroud? Now if I have to pay out of pockect expense to repair this spring before I can even get this inspected due to the horn not properly working.
While driving the air bag warning light stayed on and the horn was inoperative. The dealership indicated that the clock spring needed to be replaced. The failure was due to the defect described in the air bag clock spring recall 04v480000, but this model vehicle was not part of the recall.
Dodge neon 2001 my - 43,000 miles. Today, while making a parking maneuver I suddenly heard several plastic click and crack like noises. I immediately thought of the clock spring; my fears were confirmed few seconds later when the airbag light turned on my cluster. Finally, after hearing the same kind of noise 3 of 4 times while driving the light ended up staying on. It basically meant that I have no airbag and I am a little bit worried that it might come off unexpectedly. Think it is not normal for such a safety component to fail in such way after only 43,000 miles. I really can't think of anything I could have done that would explain that.
