While driving SRS light appeared on the dashboard and remained on. This caused T horn to become inoperative. Vehicle was taken to the dealer for inspection, and mechanic determined that the clock spring needed to be replaced and replaced it. The consumer was concered about the recall for Chrysler mini vans with the same problems he is having since both vehicles use the same parts.
