While driving at 35 MPH air bag light came on on the dash board. When air bag light illuminated cruise control and horn stopped working. Dealer found that the clock spring needed replacement. A recall for 1996-1998 model year vehicles was issued, but this vehicle was not included due to model year.
Clock spring assembly shorted on 1999 plymouth voyager - loss of airbag,horn at 60000 miles. Recall previosuly issued for 1996-1998 years of same model.

On our 19'99 plymouth voyager, the airbag light started coming on intermittently when turning the steering wheel to the left. After a few days, the light stayed on while the van was running and we noticed that the horn and cruise control also were no longer operating.
Transmission wont change gear properly. The technician replaced two sensors. The electrical system also didn't work properly. Please provide further information.
Consumer stated that air bag light came on and stayed on all the time. This affected horn and cruise control, both did not work.
I own a 1999 plymouth voyager. Recently, our airbag light would come on intermittently while driving. Also, the horn would work intermittently as well. We have a friend that owns a 1998 voyager and she told us that she had the same problem, and it was caused by a defective clock spring. She had her van repaired at no charge by the chrysler dealership, as they had had so many complaints and incidents of this part failing that they actually extended the warranty of the clock spring on the 1998 model to a lifetime warranty. When we took our 1999 voyager in for repair, we were also told that our clock spring was not working. However, the warranty was not being extended for the 1999 models, so the repair cost us $198.00. We were told to keep our reciept "in case" chrysler ever issued a recall or changed the status of the parts warranty in the future, so we could get a refund. Of course, I feel there is very little chance of that ever happening. My main complaint is that if chrysler know that this part is defective, why they are not recalling the parts instead of waiting until there are so many complaints that they secretly extend the warranty, which gets them out of the normal notification procedures they have to do during recalls. This is a clear case of knowing a problem exists but doing nothing about it.
Consumer states that electrical system does not work properly.
Clockspring has failed, causing airbag and horn to be inoperative. Dealer notified.
While driving consumer inserted the telephone cords to recharge the battery and the cigarette lighting system ,went inside the vehicle panel. Dealer notified.
The air bag light came on and did not go off. The horn was inoperative since the air bag light came on. The check engine light also illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, and the consumer was told they were having a lot of problems with the same vehicle. *nlm....*ak driver's side door light switch did not work, the switch had to jiggled for the light to come on. *tt
The clock spring in the steering wheel was defective and had shorted. Replacement was required and completed at the owner's cost. The clock spring is on recall for various other chrysler vans (our model not included in recall at this time)
Dealer wouldn't repair problem other units recalled but not the 1999 model. Dt
$5,975.00 - in the last 16 months the 1999 plymouth voyager van I purchased at courtesy chrysler has been in the shop over 18 times, often for the same problems. I have had to buy 6 new times and 3 new batteries. On average, I have added between 3 and 4 quarts of oil every month and new coolant every 3 months (it over heats a lot). I have suffered verbal and mental abuse from the personnel at courtesy chrysler to the point where I had to jump out of my moving van as my personal service advisor was berating me and told me that there was nothing wrong with my van, the brakes, the engine, etc., during a test drive. When I opened the door to jump out he stepped on the brakes...and they did not work! Mind you, they had my vehicle in their shop for the last two days to repair the brakes and my personal service advisor kept saying that the van was fine! After giving me a brand new 2002 chrysler minivan, they said that my van would be ready the next afternoon for pick-up and if there were any problems, they would contact me.
Consumer states that vehicle caught on fire, wiring went bad (claim # 35-w582-026).
Horn worked fine in the beginning. However, currentlt, it is sporadic. There are days it works, and days it does'nt work. It also effects left and right signal lights when it does not work . Illumination stays on for lights. Also, while pushing down on horn, center becomes hollow, as if there is no airbag . When it does work, it is like airbag reappearing. Please provide any additional information or make corrections as to what has already been put into this complaint.
Drain plug is cross threaded and stripped out. Oil change place said they have seen this problem with many chysler mini vans and they have provided me with three related articles that support the facxt that the drain plugs have too short threads which casuses them to strip out easily after normal oil change use. This will end up costing me over $200!! They are claiming that I have to buy a new oil pan, which is probably the same so this will undoubtly happen again the next time I get my oil changed a few times. If this is noted and had been documented many times why hasn't this problem been fixed via a recall?? The easy fix according to the articles is to simply install a longer drain plug with longer threads. Please advise where I can go from here. I am only leasing this vehicle and even bought an extended warrantly, but this is crap!
I heard on the news that failure of the airbag/horn/cruise control mechanism has been reported on this vehicle and that no recall had yet been determined. I experienced the same failure. To date, only the horn has been repaired but the dealership inform
At any time vehicle will hesitate, and on one occasion caused vehicle to stall, but quickly restarted.dealer is not able to determine cause, and cannot come up with codes.
Failure of this part caused the vehicle to violently shift to 1st gear at 45 MPH. The speedometer and odometer did not read. Vehicle had to be towed. Dealer stated that this part should not have failed on such a new vehicle. I purcahsed an extended warranty, which covers powertrain, electrical and standard instrument cluster, but was told that this sensor was not covered, eventhough it controls the instrument cluster. I paid $130 for repair. If this had happened in traffic or at highway speed I shudder to think how the vehicle would have reacted, since the sudden, unexpected downshift caused the vehicle to lurch forward violently. The dealer's service rep said that this part did not usually fail, but that in the past month they had replaced more than usual. I have only had this vehicle for 7 months and it has already left me stranded. Overall, my dealer and service rep were very polite and friendly. Please let me know your expert opinion about this incident.
When placing vehicle from park to reverse or from park to drive vehicle can be placed out of gear without foot depressed on the brake pedal. Consumer has contacted the dealer, dealer linked the problem to the driveshaft or an electrical problem. Consumer had problems with the passenger side seat belt which had too much slack. Please provide any further details.
