Airbag warning light by model year
What owners say
Air bag light stays on and has since first purchased, horn has not worked for about 8 months, cruise control quit working 3 months ago. Reading other complaints it appears there was a recall stating the problem is with the column clock spring. If I could receive a recall for the manufacturer to just provide a replacement column clock spring my nephew would place it on the van.
Tl* the contact owns a 1999 plymouth grand voyager. While driving approximately 10 MPH, the air bag warning light briefly illuminated on the instrument panel and continued to do so intermittently. The contact received the federal safety agency recall campaign id 04v480000 (air bags). The dealer did not repair the vehicle since the warranty was no longer valid. The failure continued to occur. The air bag service light remained illuminated at all times. The contact also stated that the horn would not function. When she was involved in a crash the air bags did not deploy upon impact. The contact didn't mention if there were any injuries. The failure mileage was unknown and the current mileage was 125,000.
Consumer complained about several problems. Recently, the air bag light came on/the odometer stopped reading mileage, and the horn did not work. The cause of these problems had not been determined.
The consumer received a recall notice # 04v480000. The consumer took the vehicle to get it serviced. When leaving the dealer, she noticed the airbag light was still on. The dealer could not determine the problem and told her to schedule an appointment. The dealer told the consumer the inspection would be free of charge. But when scheduling the appointment, she was told that it would be a fee.
The air bag light lit up, and shortly afterwards, the cruise control and horn stopped working. The dealer advisor called me and said that the clock spring would have to be replaced. A couple hours later, he called me and informed me that the wires in the airbag had overheated and the entire air bag assembly would now have to be replaced. The company reimbursed me last month for the clock spring, which they said was recalled. However, I feel that I should also be reimbursed for the airbag assembly, since it was connected to the clockspring. This is a major safety issue that has affected many other consumers with this same vehicle. The dealer advisor gave us the clock spring as we requested, but said that they could not give us the air bag, since it needed to be sent to chrysler for failure analysis.
Clock spring was defective. The air bag light came and stayed on, making the air bags inoperable. Also, it effected the horn and the cruise control. A recall was issued. However, this vehicle was not included due to VIN.
I have a 1999 plymouth grand voyager. There is couple of problems with my air bag light, horn, and cruse. After blinking of air bag light, horn and cruse control are not working. Air bag light is on and off interminttenly.
When driving the vehicle at any speed air bag warning light appeared on the dashboard. Consumer took the vehicle to the dealer for inspection, and mechanic determined that the clock spring needed to be replaced.
Air bag light stays on, horn doesn't work, cruise control not working also.
(1) normal operation of vehicle LED to failure(s) [ I count each time the airbag light comes on when it is not supposed to as a separate failure-my count is approximate]. (2) the clock spring assembly in my minivan operates intermittently and thus my airbag (so I'm told) and horn also operate intermittently. I've had some close calls becase the horn does not work; thankfully I've not needed the airbag to deploy. (3) I learned today, to the cost of a diagnostic charge, that the dealer and manufacturer are unwilling to repair under recall b24 as my chrysler voyager is a 1999 model.
Airbag light constant illumination, along with horn/pwr. Steering failure. This is the same defect that was recalled in earlier year models (plymouth grand voyager) through 1998, however mine is a 1999 and although exhibets same failure/defect, is not covered. This is reported to be a defect related to an "open circuit" clockspring. See also the federal safety agency action # rq04001, odi investigation ea01-007, safety recall # 02v‑293, technical service bulletin # 0801102, and technical svce. Bulletin #0801001, there has not yet been an accident or incident, however it is unacceptable that such a defect exists and that the manufacturer is aware of it, however will not do anything about it. This is clearly a major safety defect and is not the fault of the operator, nor is it a maintenance issue.

Air bags
- What is wrong
- On certain minivans, the driver's air bag may become disabled due to a failure of the clockspring, which is located in the hub of the steering wheel.
- Risk
- This condition will manifest itself through illumination of the air bag warning lamp, and could eventually result in a driver's air bag open circuit, if the part is not replaced in a reasonable amount of time.
- Remedy
- Dealers will replace the clockspring assembly on all covered vehicles with 70,000 miles or less. For those vehicles with more than 70,000 miles, daimlerchrysler will offer an extended lifetime warranty under which it will replace the clockspring at no charge if it fails. Daimlerchrysler will also reimburse owners who have paid to have the clockspring replaced on their vehicles. The recall began on october 12, 2004. Owners should contact daimlerchrysler at 1‑800‑853‑1403.
