Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Air bag light started to come on and off intermittently. On the second day it came on and stayed on. On the second day I also noticed no horn and no cruise control. All indications are that it is the clock spring. Emailed chrysler to see if it was a recall or safety covered item. They stated no that the entire cost to replace it will be mine $300 plus dollars. From my understanding chrysler is having problems with a lot of clock springs. I feel they should cover this item as it is not an item that should fail that easily.”
