The airbag warning light on the dash has been activated. The horn and speed control are also inoperable which occurred about the same time the airbag light went on. Also, the windshield wipers activate occasionally even though the switch is in the off position. The outside mirrors also move when the automatic door locks are activated. It is my understanding that the air bag, horn and speed control problems are currently being investigated by NHTSA. A faulty clockspring assembly is the possible culprit.

- Park Ridge, IL, USA

Clock spring failed, disabling horn, airbag, and cruise control. When we brought it to the dealer, we were told that it is a common problem, but that since the vehicle was out of warranty we would have to pay $250 for the repair. Since then, two other friends with the same car have had their clock spring fail, and they have had to pay for the repair. Chrysler has issued a service bulletin (08-010-01) for the repair, but refuses to provide the repair at no, or a reduced, cost. As the horn and airbag were disabled, I feel that this should have been covered as a safety issue recall.
