1996 Plymouth Voyager airbags complaints
Page 3 of 6: complaints 41 to 70 of 134, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Horn does not work, and airbag sensor light is on. Consumer feels airbag may or may not depoy. Can't warn other drivers. Cause unknown. Please provide any further information.
Horn stopped working. Vehicle repaired by dealer who advised the consumer that the clock spring was defective. *ak consumer was in a parking lot and a vehicle started to back out of a parking space, consumers horn wouldn't work. Consumer feels that the horn and cruise control are/were defective and the manufacturer should pay the cost of repair. (146.78)
Investigation currently open by the federal safety agency ea01007. My airbag light would come on and sometimes extinguish during driving but come back on later. Finally the airbag light stayed on constantly. Over the course of a month, the cruise control and horn quit working as well. I inadvertantly stumbled across this open the federal safety agency case while looking for a wiring diagram to begin looking into the horn problem first. While the van is 6 years old I understand that dodge/plymouth have replaced over 400,000 clock spring assemblies. The dealership charged me $223.30 to replace the part including labor. It would seem that a fair amount of these assemblies have failed which I would expect to last for the lifetime of the vehicle. I would have been willing to pay for the part if dodge/plymouth would install it for free. Not only did they charge to install it, they were ready to charge me an additional $70.00 diagnostic fee if that wasn't the problem. I'm very disappointed that dodge/plymouth is very well aware of this problem which is obviously safety related as I have driven around for 2 - 3 months with an airbag light on which I'm sure others are doing and then they make a nice profit on charging me to fix a defect they are very well aware of. If I can answer any other questions, please feel free to contact me.

This clock sring mechanism is in the steering wheel and controls your airbags, directional signals, horn and cruise control. It's my understanding that your airbags do not work when this mechanism is broken . I had just replced this part 12 months earlier.
Seems to be a common problem with chrysler vans. Something to do with a clock spring, that is in the steering wheel column. I have found other examples on the internet and there was mention of a class action law suite. Costs around $190 to $260 to fix. My father in laws chrysler van has same problem with air bag light. Not sure about horn.
Airbag light would come on and off in july. Took vehicle to dealer, and they reset airbag sensor. About a week later, consumer rear ended another driver, and none of the airbags deployed. Please provide any further information.
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?
Horn, air bag and cruise control all does not work. Horn is required to pass safety inspection. Air bag is very important because my wife is pregnant with our first child. *ph *jb **dimsii ivoq entry posted after 12/12/02 cut over to artemis**763371
Airbag light continuously illuminates. Dealer indicated that the clock spring was bad. I understand that from other complaints that I may be able to look forward to both my horn and cruise control becoming inoperable in the future. I can't believe that a non-moving part such as this would fail. It should last the life of the vehicle.

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.
