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.

Driver air bag clockspring failure
The driver air bag clockspring can develop an open-circuit condition resulting in nonfunctional driver-side frontal air bag, horn, cruise control (if equipped), and/or steering wheel radio control (if equipped).in its october 5, 2004 letter to the federal safety agency, daimlerchrysler stated that it will conduct a safety recall and replace the clockspring assembly on all my 1998.5-2000 daimlerchrysler minivans, built between march 1998 and august 2000, with 70,000 miles or less.it will also provide a lifetime warranty for this component on my 1998.5-2000 minivans, regardless of mileage.the details of the corrective action are described in daimlerchrysler's letter (see recall no. 04v‑480).the agency believes that further expenditure of agency resources does not appear to be warranted.the closing of this investigation does not constitute a finding by the federal safety agency that no safety-related defect exists with respect to those vehicles covered only by the lifetime warranty.the agency will take further action if warranted by the circumstances.see page 2 for additional information.

What 2000 Plymouth Grand Voyager owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
There was a recall on my van for the clockspring. I took it to hayes chrysler, and they verified that it was under warranty to have it replaced at no cost. Just wanted to report this recall to be added to the VIN history. Hayes will be repairing it within the next couple of days.
Cruise control, horn does not work -this was within 30 days of each other. Airbag light comes on then goes off again. No accident caused this to occur.
Tl*the contact owns a 2000 plymouth grand voyager. The air bag warning indicator light illuminated. When the vehicle was stopped, all of the gauge needles in the instrument panel would fluctuate up and down. The dealer serviced the vehicle for the federal safety agency campaign id number 04v480000 (air bags). The air bag light dimmed for six months, but then illuminated again. The dealer stated that the power distributor failed and they replaced the pdc. The failure mileage was 56,000 and current mileage was 105,000.
The air bag light appeared on the dashboard and remained on. Consumer will contact the dealer the next day.
The vehicle ran off the road while driving 35-45 MPH into a fence and then into a wooden pole and neither frontal air bag deployed. *jb the consumer received a head injury with 6 staples and other small cut to the head and face. Consumer also cut right hand in the accident.
There is a recall on plymouth voyagers 1998 and older doing the same things my 2000 is doing, which is not under recall. The specific problems are: the airbag light has been on constantly for 6 weeks and for the past month the horn does not honk and the cruise control doesn't turn on. I'm very concerned about what exactly is wrong with the airbags, now that I know there is a recall issue for older models. I have not attempted to have it repaired, because I cannot afford to take it to the dealer for repair.
While driving/parking clock spring failed. This caused the horn not to work, and the air bag light to illuminate intermittently. The dealership was notified, but did not resolve the problem.
Clockspring malfunction-which has LED to failure of horn, airbag, and cruise control.
While driving the cruise control and horn stopped working. The fuses were checked but none of them were bad. After that the air bag lights came on. The vehicle was taken to the dealer. *ak *ph
