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.

I have a 97 plymouth grand voyager that I have had for 2 yrs. When I bought the van everything was working properly. For about a year now I have been having problems with the electrical system. First my cruise control stopped working,then my horn,now my blinkers only work sometimes and alot of times I have to turn on my bright lights for the blinkers to work. The airbag light is always on which means it is not functioning correctly. These are big problems with the wiring system and it is very expensive to have the whole thing rewired. My husband is a mechanic and he said it will cost over $1000 to have everything fixed correctly.
Airbag light stays on horn does not work bad struts, loud struts sounds.
Dt*: the contact stated while driving 30mph, the airbag warning light illuminated without any prior warning. Afterwards, the dash panel clock, radio, and heating defroster stopped working. The contact parked the vehicle and attempted to turn the engine off. The key would not release from the ignition and the engine continued running. After multiple attempts, the contact removed the battery cables from the battery and reattached them. The engine stopped running, but the clock and radio illuminated indicating normal function. Although the key remained in the ignition, the vehicle was not seen by a dealer.
1995 plymouth grand voyager air bag light is defective to clockspring. *ts the consumer 2000 chrysler town and country was recalled for the clockspring. The consumer believes the clockspring recall should be extended to include the 1995 plymouth voyager.
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.
