During hot weather dash air bag indicator light illuminated, horn did not function & cruise control no longer functioned. Certified service center has identified problem is due to clock spring in steering column (ref the federal safety agency action #: ea01007). Air bag light came on first...cruise control still work intermittently. Did not become aware of horn malfunction until needed for collision avoidance (near miss, no damage). Reference the federal safety agency recall # 98v046 for same issue in different make vehicle by same manufacturer. Reference chrysler tsb # 08-010-01 may 01 that covers broad range of makes and models. This investigation was opened in feb-2001. Why was a recall issued on wrangler and not minivan when both use same system?
Airbag light has come on, and horn and cruise control stopped working.
Air bag light flickered then stayed on, cruise intermittent, no horn.
Airbags lights stays on/ speed control and horn do not work. Clockspring failure.
Cruise control not functioning.
The air bag/ clockspring was defective and affected the horn, cruise control and automatic locks. This is becoming a common problem for vehicles similar to my make, model and year, according to our mechanic. Upon research via internet, its an apparent problem and yet a recall has not been issued. I would like reimbursement since this was defective. Thank you for looking into this matter.
Airbag light came on, horn and cruise control stopped working. Dealer replaced clock spring assembly.
Electronic contol unit is bad. This controlls the wipers as well as many other things. Only the windshield wipers do not at this time. I thought we would crash into some when we were on the highway and a big rainstorm hit. We could'nt see anything, it was very scarry. Dealer estimates $579.00 for repair/replacement. Chrysler said "too bad" "not our problem". Also, the parking brake does not hold. I had that checked @ the dealer, who said it could not be adjusted any further w/o risk of the brakes locking up. They also mentioned, the cable was fine, it was not stretched and did not need to be replaced. When we use the AC system, it gives off a bad smell. I think there is some filter in the system somewhere, but they state at the dealership, it does not affect the interior smell of the vehicle when replaced. In otherwords, it will not make the smell go away. The lugage rack does not stay locked in place when adjusted. The locks will not work to hold the adjustable bars in place. The cruise control accelerates far too quickly from the steering column buttons. It also does not dissengage when I try to use the buttons. Thank you for your time and patience! :o)
Airbag light came on. Horn and cruise control would not work. Consumer took vehicle to a mechanic, and they replaced clock spring*ak
Consumer took a road trip and airbag light stayed on. Cruise control went out, and there was no horn. Dealer stated clock spring goes out of adjustment, drops contact, and everything drops down. Repair included removing airbag and steering wheel, cost $375 to fix.*ak consumer states the clockspring was replaced on 25-jul-01 and until it had been replaced the airbag, cruise control, and horn were inoperable.
This assembly disables the airbag system. It also disables the criuse control and horn systems.
Failure of this part rendered the airbag system ineffective. Also the horn would not work, nor would the cruise control work. Approx $230 to fix.t work.
While driving air bag light came on and remained. This caused horn and cruise control not to be working.

Airbag light came on, horn and cruise control quit working.
I recently heard a news report on a local radio station that the government has launched an investigation into the combined failure of the air bag system, cruise control and horn on approx 3 million mini vans. Unfortunately, I suspect my van currently has this same problem. It has not been examined by my chrysler dealer although I did contact them and they advised they were unaware of this type of problem and claimed to have not received any report from chrysler about this. I also called chrysler customer assistance and they too were "unaware" of any problems and simply documented my concern. I would like to know if chrysler is indeed aware of multiple problems with this same failure or are they avoiding admitting to the investigation. I was quite suprised to read in my paper today about the investigation (ea01007) and how the symptems matched mine exactly. About 6 months ago, the air bag light illuminated apon start up and now stays on for the full duration of the drive. A few weeks after that, the cruise control began a bizzare on again, off again pattern. Each time you started the car, it was a crap shoot to see if cruise would be working. A few weeks after that, we noticed the horn no longer works. I'm leary of bringing the vehicle in for "diagnostics" considering some of the repair costs I've heard, associated with air bag system repairs. I would like to be advised as to what chryslers response was and is regarding your announced investigation. Thank you.
The clockspring assembly, the system that provides electricity for the driver side air bag, horn and cruise control. The air bag readiness indicator lamp came on and the horn,and cruise control does not work
While driving cruise control kicked in, and the brakes had to have extreme pressure applied in order to slowdown. Vehicle had to be turned off, and then back on in order for cruise control to disengage. Dealer said it was the servo cruise control cable. Vehicle was fixed.*ak rear brake drums had to be turned because it was affected by the heat while trying to stop.
