“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. …”
