1996 Plymouth Voyager Vehicle speed control Problems

“Vehicle was taken to the dealer because the air bag light illuminated. Also vehicle was taken to dealer for recall 02v293000 clockspring repairs. Dealer attempted to repair the problems under the recall, but was only able to fix the horn. Air bag light was still illuminating, and cruise control did not function. Consumer requested a call back.”

“The clock spring broke on this vehicle. This disabled the horn and power to the cruise control. I know a few other minivan owners and I am not the only person that this happened to. I have never had a problem with steering wheel components with any vehicle I've owned in 30 years. I believe that there is a possible defect in this area.”

“Investigation currently open by NHTSA ea01007. My airbag light would come on and sometimes extinguish during driving but come back on later. Finally the airbag light stayed on constantly. Over the course of a month, the cruise control and horn quit working as well. I inadvertantly stumbled across this open NHTSA case while looking for a wiring diagram to begin looking into the horn problem first. While the van is 6 years old I understand that dodge/Plymouth have replaced over 400,000 clock spring assemblies. The dealership charged me $223.30 to replace the part including labor. …”

“I recently heard a news report on a local radio station that the government has launched an investigation into the combined failure of the air bag system, cruise control and horn on approx 3 million mini vans. Unfortunately, I suspect my van currently has this same problem. It has not been examined by my chrysler dealer although I did contact them and they advised they were unaware of this type of problem and claimed to have not received any report from chrysler about this. I also called chrysler customer assistance and they too were unaware of any problems and simply documented my concern. …”

“While backing out of a parking space with a foot on the brakes vehicle started to accelerate in reverse. Was brought to a halt after front passenger'side struck a tree. Consumer's four year old child's head hit rear door window, cracking the window in the process. Consumer suffered back injuries. Seat belts were worn but none of the air bags in vehicle deployed.”
