- Youngstown, OH, USA

In our 1999 Caravan, several months ago, the cruise control and horn began to intermittently not work. Then the airbag light intermittently would come on while driving and while parked. At this time neither the horn, the cruise control and sometimes the windshield wipers will not work at all. The airbag light will still come on and off intermittently. We called the dealer's repair service and they told us that they thought it sounded like the clock spring mechanism. Upon taking the vehicle in for physical inspection/ diagnostics, an open circuit was detected and we were informed that the clockspring indeed needs to be replaced. However, at this time the necessary part is backordered (on a national basis) and is not immediately available. The technician told us that if we were in an accident the airbags would not deploy. Since we drive our minivan primarily with our entire family on board (ie, myself, my spouse, and 4 young children) I am greatly concerned that we are not able to have this problem immediatly fixed. Upon viewing your website I have discovered that an investigation into this has been started but did not find out the status of this investigation. If these parts are "nationally" backordered, that should tell you that there is a big problem out there. If even one of those vehicles is in an accident and the airbags will not deploy, there is severe risk of phyical injury to the driver/passenger and possibly additional passengers in this vehicle. Please continue your investigation and request a recall. Isn't saving a life that important? we also are being asked to pay close to $300 for the diagnostics and installation of this clockspring (if we can get one), for something that appears even to an amateur detective to be a design flaw and a very serious one! please help!
