The contact stated vehicle stalls when idling followed by the engine dying. The vehicle restarts after several attempts. He took the vehicle to an independent repair shop. The repair shop cleaned the throttle body and the fuel injection system. This did not correct the problem. No further repairs have been made at this time.

Clock sping component failed causing deactivation of air bag, horn, and cruise control. I believe this is a design defect and a safety issue and this part should be recalled and the manufacturer should repair free of charge to the consumer.

On the morning of Sept 28, 2001, I started my '97 Plymouth Voyager to begin a vacation trip. After a few minutes with the engine running, I noticed that the air bag warning light stayed illuminated. During the trip, I also discovered that neither the horn nor the cruise control worked. These symptoms appear similar to recall #01V153000..
