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.
Driving home from minnesota to tennessee the horn and cruise contol stopped responding (clockspring failed) without a horn the vehicle will not allow the driver to alert others to avoid accidents. Vehicle has been parked until I can afford repairs.
Air bag light stays on, horn doesn't work, cruise control not working also.
1999 plymouth grand voyager se with a horn defect as described in press releases about your pending technical analysis. The horn requires excessive force to actuate. Chrysler says replacement steering wheel is $900, but will discount to $300 when I complained to corporate offices. I feel this is a design defect and dangerous and do not feel it is correct to be charged and this should be replaced/repaired promptly as a safety issues. Who ever wore out a horn?
Horn started beeping by itself, then stayed on continuously. Dealer said it was a defective airbag assembly. I called chrysler to complain and they agreed to pay all but $150 of the $607 bill. I don't know if this is part of the clockspring assembly problems or not. We have not noticed any problem with the airbag light or cruise control.

The printed circuit board that controls the instrument cluster has failed twice and had to be replaced. The mechanic admitted that this happens frequently with my vehicle and I can expect it to fail agian. There is an electrical problem that the dealership says does not exsist, yet my car constantly fails to operate properly and many electrical faults occur regularly. The headlights stop working, the radio cuts out, the instrument panel goes out, the door locks wont work, the hazzard flashers come on & will not shut off. The dealer insists that there is nothing wrong, yet the problems continue to plauge my vehicle.
Egr system failure (failing airbags, horn, and cruise control system)-as per an article in todays atlanta journal-constitution, you are currently probing plymouth grand voyagers from model years 1998 & 1999 due to 109 complaints regarding failing airbags, horns, and cruise control systems.

Air bag warning light constantly on and LED to horn failure. Almost resulted in accident(s) when we are unable to sound horn when other unsafe driver(s) manuever in a manner which would cause collision with us.
I have a 1999 plymouth grand voyager that is experiencing a problem with the clockswitch (horn, cruise control not working, airbag light on). I called the recall line with chrysler and they said my van was not covered on the recall. Only 1996-1998. I noticed when the investigation was taking place all vehicles from 1996-2000 were being looked at. I think chrysler should fix the problem with my clockswitch for free because this is a safety defect.
Upon restarting the van the key failed to turn in the ignition. The van was towed to the dealership where it was determined that the ignition had locked up. The dealership replaced the ignition switch and made adjustments to the steering column. Please provide any additional information.
1999 plymouth grand voyager. Vin [xxx]. The subject vehicle has had a failure of the clock spring mechanism (according to the dealer). This has resulted in the failure of the air bag deployment (along with cruise control and horn). Chrysler has admitted this problem exists (via recall) with 1996-1998 vehicles but will not fix 1999 vehicles. Your web site exhibits numerous instance of this failure on 1999 vehicles. How do I go about getting a known problem with this failure to be acknowledged and fixed by chrysler? I consider this a serious safety issue that should be taken care of by chrysler regardless of auto mileage.*ak information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
1999 plymouth grand voyager se - airbag light came on at 72000 miles. I found that daimler-chrysler had a safety recall on 1996-1998 plymouth vans because the clockspring was not installed properly in the steering column. Causing the airbag to become inoperable, the horn and cruise control to also stop working. I found on a plymouth forum that many other 1999 van owners have had the same problems. When I called chrysler, they said the recall did not cover the 1999 van and that they would not extend the safety recall.
1999 plymouth chrysler grand voyager defective clock spring. There was a recall for vans up to year 1998, but for some reason the 1999 vans haven't been recalled because of the clockspring. This may cause a malfunction of the airbag and the horn doesn't work.
Ignition lock cylinder defect. Third defect/replacementon this vehicle. Stranded do to defective material/workmanship. Additional defects include temperature switch,radiator cooling fans, premature brake wear(brakes replaced twice already). Manufacturer thinks this is normal.
2nd replacement of ignition/ lock in steering column. Car has 52,000 mi. Not covered under maintenance agreement. Car had to be dragged backwards out of garage to get it into the tow bed, very bad for transmission, if this failure occurred at late night, could have been very dangerous.
This is my third attempt at getting this matter reported! I have called twice before (around 7/17 and again around 8/7) but have yet to receive the form(s) I need to sign! According to your site my report "is the first step" in getting this very definite safety related defect fixed. I have no air bags that work, as far as I know, no horn (definitely), and no cruise control. I know it is probably the clockspring, but cannot afford to have it fixed!

I am hereby complaining about a design defect in the horn of the 1999 plymouth voyager.
On 01/24/2001, I parked my car in my driveway, about 3 - 4 feet in front of the garage of my house. I went into my house and after at least 30 seconds to a minute or more (after I had gotten well within my house), I heard a very loud boom sound---like a
I was driving to the train station on the morning of august 29th when suddenly all of the van's interior lights came on. The lights stayed on for a few seconds and then went off by themselves, just as they had came on. As soon as the lights went off, all of the power door locks, including the rear gate, spontaneously unlocked. I re-locked the doors by using the locking switch on the drivers door. However, the sequence of the interior lights coming on, going off, and then all doors and the rear gate unlocking happened two more times, for a total of three times. It did not happen again after the third time. I called smith haven chrysler plymouth as soon as I got to work and made an appointment for friday, september 1st. The problem did not occur again either before or after I took the car in for service. They could not duplicate the problem when they examined the car. But since the doors unlocked by themselves I wanted to make sure that it was reported. I often have my grandchildren in the van and even though they are always buckled in, I don't want to have to wonder whether or not the doors are going to someday unlock themselves. So far it appears to have been an isolated incident.
If your not the correct organization to report this too, and you know the correct organization could you please forward this to them? This morning on the way to work my 1999 plymouth grand voyager's electrical system cut off and cut right back on again for no apparent reason. The cd player cut off, the door locks activated, the lights went out but the ABS light came on afterwards. I was not going extremely fast about 45miles per hour, on a straight road with no bumps or vibrations to shake something loose. I'm concerned because if this had happened while I was passing someone it could have possibly caused an accident. I called the dealer and was told no one else had complained of this problem but thought I should let someone know in case it was a serious, re-call type of, problem
