Chrysler knows very well that there is system failure in air bag "clock spring" in the steering wheel. NHTSA should ask Chrysler for one simple piece of information: How many driver's side air bag "clock spring" replacement parts" are you selling? because Chrysler is selling tens of thousands, it is clear to any idiot that there is a manufacturer's defect in this important safety device. Chrysler has a similar problem with fuel tank sender device. They are all breaking.

Apparently this is a common problem. Airbag light on, horn and cruise control don't work. Dealer charged me almost $350 to fix what it obviously a safety defect, given the number of people who are having this problem.

Air bag safety light goes on and off intermittently. Horn does not function when light is on. Confidence in airbag is suspect, but not clear to me what the repair responsibility would be. Does not seem like a normal consumable like tires, breaks or fuses but rather a design defect that should be corrected by Chrysler.

Our clock spring failure was evidenced by airbag light glowing continuously.......we were told that the airbags might or might not work in an accident, so we went ahead with the repair....the airbags had never been deployed or replaced during the life of the car......we wanted to be assured of safety if involved in an accident.........a news report about clockspring/airbag potential defects on Plymouth minivans prompted our report today.

Air bag light on the dashboard came on/ cruise control, and horn would not work. Dealer's service department investigated and determined that the clock spring had failed and needed to be replaced. Clock spring was not under warranty, and it cost $538.71 for labor and parts to replace failed clock spring.

Since approximately 10/01/99, while car is operated, airbag, cruise control, and other electric features controlled via wiring located in the steering column become inoperable, indicated by the trouble lights which come on, on dashboard. For about the past one year the airbags and cruise control have continuously been inactive/inoperable whenever the car is being operated. There appears to be a defect in the steering column wiring system, and recently heard of many other similar failures, ones the NHTSA is even aware of, although I can find no report of it on this web site in either recalls or complaints. I'm very frustrated and anxious about this because I cannot afford to have all this re-wiring work done, but feel Plymouth should be responsible for a functioning airbag system at least.
