Stopped at stop sign. started to make right hand turn, heard pop in the steering column, warning bell went off, airbag light came on and stayed on. horn stopped working and no cruise control. took vehicle in for replacement of clockspring today, 7/18/2015, at a cost of $167.99 for the part and $119.23 for labor. no airbags IS a safety issue. clockspring failure IS known to dodge/chrysler and recently jeep and any vehicle made by dodge/chrysler/jeep that has this failure should have all parts and labor covered by the vehicle manufacturer. we did nothing to cause this and could have done nothing to prevent it. recalls were done but not for all vehicles. maybe that needs to change. bad part for sure!!

Front lower right ball joint and control arm failure. This resulted in catastrophic damage to the brake lines, control arm, loss of control, steering, tie rods, upper ball joint, cv axle severed, and bent frame. chrysler told me that because of my vin number I wasn't eligible for the recall repair, yet the 2001 dodge stratus, 2.4L sedan has been recalled by chrysler for this same problem, with lower control arm and ball joint failure. Had I been notified of a recall, this could of been avoided. What if I was on the highway and this happened? And why wasn't my vehicle recalled???? *tr

Clock-spring broke when I was backing out of a parking space and turning the steering wheel to the left. Now my air bag light stays on and everything electrical on the steering wheel does not work, this includes the horn, cruise control and the airbag.

Purchased a used 2001 dodge stratus and about a week after purchasing it I was backing out of a parking space at the store when I heard a snap/pop sound from the steering column. Air bag light came on and now everytime I turn the wheel I can hear a popping or clicking sound. The irony IS that I bought it because my 96 dodge intrepid IS having electrical issues which included the air bag light being on and affecting the electric windows and the heater/air conditioning blower so I have no heater nor defroster. I have always been a chrysler/dodge person and have always owned one since I was 18, but I am beginning to think I need to change my loyalty to another make and model. *tr

Trunk door design has a defect that will cause the trunk door to slam down with excessive and unimpeded force without warning and will do so on its own, even in calm winds. Multiple incident have occurred where the trunk door has slammed down while the driver or the passenger was reaching into the trunk to retrieve articles from the trunk. Currently the only way to safely use the trunk IS to have a second person hold the trunk door while the first person places or retrieves articles from the trunk. Injuries that have occurred were momentary back pain and on one occasion a concussion (when the trunk door hit the vehicle owner in the head). None of the injuries required medical treatment. Problem gets worse when vehicle IS parked on an incline (particularly if the rear of the vehicle IS facing downhill), even if the incline IS slight. *tr

I have had my car for a little over 3 years now. First it was the passenger side ball joint. Then a year later it was the ball joint on the driver side plus the control arm. Then it was the brakes and rotors. Then right after that I find out the ball joint I had just replaced on the passenger side needs replaced again! Now my oil light comes on at idle after the engine has warmed up. Had the oil changed as always between 2000 and 3000 miles as I should. Had the oil sending unit replaced and still have a oil light on with a full engine of oil. Now my steering column just today made a cracking sound as I was backing up with the wheel turning to the left. Then the airbag light came on and wont go off. Now my steering IS stiff. Talked to a mechanic and it IS a safety issue. *Jb

Upon a slow turn to street, I heard a click and grind sound in steering wheel.. Airbag light and bell came on . two days later, horn stopped working. Looked up online, and this seems to be widespread across the dodge line of vehicles. the symptoms fit exactly to what I found online to be a faulty clockspring in the airbag assembly. I watched someone disassemble a clockspring and found the (tape-type) wires had been bent backwards by the manufacturer before being bent the other way.( within two inches of the connection point of the tape wire) upon disassembly , he found the wires to be separated where the bend in the tape was. *tr
