“Air bag light constantly on, no horn no cruise control no radio control. Went to dealer for recall on airbag steering wheel clock spring and was told I would have to pay for diagnostic and also pay for part in case it was not covered. This is not how a safety recall should be performed to my understanding”
NHTSA complaint #11256627, filed 2019-09, 135,025 miles“No crash involved...noticed after a rainstorm here on the coast, that there was the sound of water rolling back and forth in the dash area when I was driving..not only that, but there was a significant(huge flood) of water coming into the passenger compartment from the dash area immediately in front of the passenger seat...enough water that my carpeting was completely soaked, and ruined. …”
NHTSA complaint #10218438, filed 2008-02, 90,000 miles“No accident, crash, or injury. My air bag clock spring failed and my air bag warning light illuminated. I'm told by the dealer that my air bag will now not work (also my cruise control & steering wheel radio controls are not funtional). This is a serious safety issue & I am getting it repaired quickly at a cost of over $220. This should be paid for by daimler Chrysler!.”
NHTSA complaint #10093385, filed 2004-09, 96,500 miles“The airbag warning light comes on frequently, indicating the airbags are not working. Dealer says the unit has a faulty clock spring. The clock spring was recalled for models up to 1998. There has been no recall for 1999 or later. I have a 1999. I believe the airbag's clock spring should be replaced by Chrysler.”
NHTSA complaint #10073158, filed 2004-05, 43,000 miles“My 1999 Chrysler Town And Country's horn stopped working and the airbag light went on. My 3rd party mechanic said he has seen this happen numerous times. The van has 61000 miles. I took it to a Chrysler dealer who said it was not covered under a recall. It cost me $250. They said it was the clock spring. Seems like a problem that stops the horn and the airbags from working would generate a recall.”
