“I just bought my van used and the tire pressure light stays on (pressure has been checked) the check engine has now come on and remains on along with all the ABS, traction control and brake lights have come on as well. The traction control light flashes while driving and the van will decelerate while driving. This happens while driving the vehicle. Every time driving the vehicle”
NHTSA complaint #11186847, filed 2019-03, 200,000 miles“Has there been any airbag clock sensor recalls? When I am driving and make a turn the esp/bas light comes on and the anti-lock brakes activate. The system resets and comes on again each time I am driving and make a turn. Codes c1219,c123f,c123b,c2200,c123c are active and stored on computer of vehicle.”
NHTSA complaint #11302969, filed 2020-01, 155,500 miles“I was just getting onto the street and was just maybe going 10-15mph , when the vehicle traction control and stability control and ABS lights came on and increased acceleration and pulled to one side when the dash lights mentioned came on. Also sounded like brakes were being applied at same time . I was barely able to make it to dealer without being in am accident . The clockspring had to be replaced.”
NHTSA complaint #10838865, filed 2016-02, 160,000 miles“As I was driving on the interstate in atlanta, my vehicle ABS eps bas and esp light came on. At this time I was unable to use cruise control. Now it comes on intermittently and slows my vehicle down at odd times. I have taken it to the mechanic and they say they don't see anything wrong with it. I travel a lot and would hate for this to happen to me again especially with my children with me.”
NHTSA complaint #10567127, filed 2014-03, 133,000 miles“The clock spring in my Grand Caravan failed and causes the bas and esp system to apply brakes randomly before failing and offering no traction control. This happens each time I start driving forward and is worst when going from a stop sign around a turn.”
