The contact owns a 2000 Chrysler Town and country. While driving approximately 60 mph on normal road conditions, the air bag warning indicator illuminated on the instrument panel. The indicator remained lit until the engine was turned off. In addition, the cruise control worked intermittently. Recently, the vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer and they stated that NHTSA campaign id number 04V480000 (air bags) was related to the air bag clockspring assembly. The technician stated that a diagnostic must be performed to warrant the recall defect repair. The diagnostic test cost $90. The contact was displeased to know that there was a cost associated with the recall defect remedy. The vehicle has not been repaired. The failure mileage was 150,000 and current mileage was 153,000.

I took my 2000 Chrysler mini van to the conyer, ga dealership to find out why my airbag light came on and my horn stopped working and I was told by the service man that I would be charge $89 just for them to look at the problem. I just recently found out that this is a major problem with all mini vans dating back several years ago. I was almost hit by another vehicle because my horn in my van wasn't working. This is a safety issue and the manufacturer should issue a immediate recall before someone gets kill.

I have a 2000 Chrysler Town and country limited all wheel drive mini van. I brought the van in for service on June 30th because the airbag light was staying on, also nothing was working on the steering wheel. The radio controls, the cruise control, the horn, and I presume the airbag. The dealer is charging me $500 to replace the clock spring in the steering wheel. This is a electronic control box that operates everything in the steering wheel. There should be a recall on this part.
