About 5-6 weeks ago, the air bag warning light on the dashboard display went on, and it has been on continuously since then. 2 weeks ago we noticed that the cruise control wasn't working, and in the past week, the horn stopped working. We saw a notice of recall in the business section of the Washington post, but we did not receive anything from daimler-Chrysler. We contacted darcars of silver spring, md, and they told us that there was no recall for our model and year, and that the repair would cost about $225-$250. Today, we did an internet search and learned of the widespread nature of the problem, and of daimler-Chrysler's refusal to reimburse owners of vehicles such as ours for this acknowledged failure of a critical part. We do not have working air bags, horn or cruise control, and we urge you to expedite your investigation of this defect and widen the recall, requiring the manufacturer to reimburse us.

Minivan lost all power (first noticed power steering) while driving down highway. Occurred first in June 1997 and they replaced the master switch (three days earlier they had replaced the multifunction switch because the windshield wipers came on on their own). The windshield wipers are coming on on their own again (intermittently) and we lost all power driving down the road again (9/20/99). Was able to turn off into a parking lot however, without power steering - if this occurred on a busy highway or in the middle of a turn it could result in someone crashing into us. Two months after they replaced the master switch they replaced the rack N pinion and steering shaft & coupling (8/4/97). We haven't had any more problems with the steering except when we lost all power.
