“I have a 1998 Dodge van Caravan. Intermittently the cruise control star to fail, some time would turn on other times would not work at all and then died then the horn quit working and then e few weeks later the air bag light came on and stayed on. Few weeks after that the van at parked would start then shut off; start shut off. It does that five times and then it dies. 20 minutes later it would start just fine. A friend of mine call to my attention that there were a few recalls on this van. One of them was the clock spring and the rear sound barrier/outboard seat belts. …”
