“I have a 2000 Dodge Grand Caravan. I am quite certain my clockspring has broken and my airbag light stays lit all the time, and my horn and cruise control does not work. I believe chrysler has not issued a recall for the 2000 model, but only for the 1996-1998 models. Yet searching the web reveals many, many problems with the 2000 models as well. This is a safey issue causes by chrysler's equippment and should be a provided free repair. Chrysler does not offer to repair it for free. …”
NHTSA complaint #10068263, filed 2004-05, 90,000 miles“My wife was involved in an accident on a 4 lane road and was going approximately 40-45 MPH when she hit another vehicle with almost no braking involved. Neither the drive or passenger airbag deployed. This was a major selling point when we purchased this vehicle since we would be using it to transport our family. If these do not work then the chrysler corporation should do everything to the best of it's ability to ensure that anyone that buys their products should get what they have paid for.”
