The airbag light had been on for months and was on when I bought the car last november, 2013. So it had been on for an unknown period of time. The horn and cruise control stopped working after I blew the horn at someone who did not turn on green arrow in front of me. I am sure it was the clockspring which operates those three features. The dealer would not fix it at chrysler's cost because the vin number was not part of the clockspring recall. *tr

I purchased this van dec 2010. I was coming home from work at 9PM driving on the interstate and the brake pedal went all the way to the floor - no brakes. Next day I took to shop and was told all the lines were rusted and needed replaced. I had all new brake lines installed front to back by a repair shop in march 2011. once again, I had the same exact problem today, just over a year- except the lines were not rusted. 08/21/2012 - driving on a state road going about 40 mph coming to a stop light slowing down, suddenly the brake pedal went all the way to the floor. No brakes. Fluid was gushing out by the rear tire. I pulled to gas station and the fluid was leaking/dripping out. The more the brake pedal was pushed the more fluid was forced out. I could have been in an accident even killed. Lucky for me it was 1 pm in the afternoon. I moved from indiana 6/1/2011 to florida. The van now has 180,000 miles. *Tr

The driver air bag clockspring can develop an open-circuit condition resulting in nonfunctional driver-side frontal air bag, horn, cruise control (if equipped), and/or steering wheel radio control (if equipped).in its october 5, 2004 letter to nhtsa, daimlerchrysler stated that it will conduct a safety recall and replace the clockspring assembly on all my 1998.5-2000 daimlerchrysler minivans, built between march 1998 and august 2000, with 70,000 miles or less.it will also provide a lifetime warranty for this component on my 1998.5-2000 minivans, regardless of mileage.the details of the corrective action are described in daimlerchrysler's letter (see recall no. 04V-480).the agency believes that further expenditure of agency resources does not appear to be warranted.the closing of this investigation does not constitute a finding by nhtsa that no safety-related defect exists with respect to those vehicles covered only by the lifetime warranty.the agency will take further action if warranted by the circumstances.see page 2 for additional information.
