4 Warning Light On problem

Failure Date: 03/01/2001

It seems there is a problem with the Chrysler Mini-vans, the "clock spring" in the steering wheel that connects the speed control, horn and air bags to the electrical system in the van. The air bag warning light keeps coming at all times when turning the steering wheel. The speed control, and horn also do not work when the air bag light is on. This concerns me that the air bags will not work because of this defective connection in the steering wheel. According to a recent article in the press, Chrysler has sold over 124,000 of these parts. I recently was involved in a collision in which the air bags should have deployed and didn't.

Clock spring malfunctioned, causing air bag warning light to illuminate and cruise control not to activate.

6 Warning Light On problem

Failure Date: 01/02/2001

In January 2001, my 1996 Chrysler Town & Country minivan's "airbag" warning light came on and has stayed on continuosly since that time. At the same time . . . My horn and cruise control stopped working as well. I have checked the fuses and they are all in proper working order. Today, I learned from your web site that cnn. Com reported on this very problem on 3-19-01. This article prompted me to file this report. With all three failures, airbag warning light, no horn and no cruise control, I'm assuming the airbag is defective and will not deploy in the event of a frontal crash.
