What owners say
Tl*the contact owns a 1998 plymouth voyager which was purchased in 2000. He received a recall letter from chrysler and did not have any failures on the vehicle at that time. The federal safety agency campaign id number: 02v293000, air bags frontal. After the contact received the letter, the airbag warning light illuminated on the warning panel and the horn failed to operate normally.

As an investigator assigned to the california highway patrol, multidisciplinary accident investigation team (mait) in sacramento, and as directed by the mait operations manual, this is to notify the federal safety agency/odi of the verified failure of a safety restraint system in a vehicle involved in a severe-injury traffic collision. On september 2, 2009, a 1998 plymouth voyager was involved in a collision in san joaquin county, ca. The registered owner/sole occupant in the voyager sustained injury when his vehicle collided into the rear of a 1999 chevrolet tahoe, at speed. The principal direction of force was essentially from front-to-rear through the plymouth and the frontal damage was equally distributed across the full width of the vehicle. The front passenger's SRS deployed, and the driver's SRS did not. The driver of the plymouth was restrained by his seat belt. A query of the federal safety agency website indicated the plymouth was subject to recall under the federal safety agency campaign 04v‑480, and daimler chrysler recall no. D17. The recall was the subject of ea04-013 of the odi. A local dodge dealer confirmed the vehicle was part of the group under recall and had not undergone correction of the condition despite records of mailed notifications to the registered owner, of valley springs, ca. The driver of the plymouth made no statement regarding the status of the SRS warning indicator lamp prior to the collision, which is under investigation by the stockton area of the california highway patrol. Valley davison mait's preliminary investigation indicates that the driver?s SRS components were in place on the vehicle. Mait will not conduct a failure analysis investigation, as the matter is civil, not criminal, in nature. A report of the mait findings will follow. Officer c.m. Port, id 9729 california highway patrol, valley division mait. *tr updated 07/01/10 *bf updated 07/06/10
Dt: caller got recall work done on clock spring, but it did not fix the problem. The air bag light was on before it was fixed, and now the air bag light was off , and the ABS light and engine light were on, and none of gauges worked. Dealer said there was nothing else they could do. Dealer said they could do a diagnostic, but consumer would have to pay for it. Manufacturer has not been contacted yet.
I own a 1998 plymouth voyager with 60,000 miles on it recently the air bag light came on and will not go off. I did some research via the internet and find out that there was a recall for the clock spring plus other recalls that we have never received for the van. This really concerns me for the safety of myself and my family. I will never buy another chrysler product if this is the way they are going to treat their customers plus I no longer like chrysler products because of other problems that we have had in the past.
