Air Bag Light On problems of the 1996 Dodge Caravan - part 1

The air bag light illuminated on the dashboard and remained on. The horn and cruise control were inoperable when the consumer attempted to use them. The consumer took the vehicle to a mechanic to have it inspected. The mechanic informed the consumer that the recall(04v480000) for the clock spring was not for this vehicle identification number. Please fill in additional information.

The airbag light is on, the horn does not work, and the crusie control does not function. . . . . . A clockspring malifuntion from all reports. . . . And definetly a safety issue and hazard. Will attempt to replace but at a high cost. . . .

While driving, the check engine and air bag light illuminated on the dashboard.

In 2003, the air bag indicator light came on, in my 1996 Dodge Caravan, and the horn stopped working, which both have created an un-safe operating vehicle. I called the dealer and they indicated the "recall" for the clock spring, but are refusing to repair the problems as my vehicle was over 70,000 miles. Now 2004 and the problem still exists and now the vehicle has about 95,000 miles on it. This serious safety and potentially fatal problem needs to be corrected immediately and should not cost the consumer any money whatsoever.

Air bag light stays lit and cruise control no longer works.

When vehicle was parked, puddles of gas is formed under it. This happened anytime vehicle was parked. Vehicle was leaking gas and no one knew why. Also the air bag light and window wipers came on intermittently.

The horn and cruise control do not work and the air bag light is in on (does not work. ) mechanic tells us the clock spring needs to be replaced. No airbags plus no horn = serious saftey issue. Upon research, it looks like many other Caravan users have had this problem. Mr.

The brake pedal goes to the floor. It has been almost 3 months trying to get fixed. The first dealer replaced the master cylinder twice and bled air to try to repair. The second dealer performed a brake inspection. They found a lot of air in the left rear line and also bled the abs system. I also had them check the steering because the air bag light came on when I turned the steerring wheel and steering was noisey, like a groaning sound. They reported the clock spring clicking when the steering wheel was turned causing the air bag light to come on - and there is a moan or a honk noise when turning which would take new p/s hoses to repair. One week later the pedal was once again going to the floor and the abs still coming on. The dealer said they would order a pump. Which took 2 weeks to get in. When I brought it in they kept it a few days then called to say it needed the abs hydraulic package at a cost of $2,000+. They recommended I call Chrysler customer service to see if they could assist with the costs. Chrysler customer service said it was a mechanical part that could go out at any time therefore my cost since the van is no longer under warranty (low mileage doesn't matter). I called the dealer and haven't heard back in two days to see what they could reccommend/ I looked on the internet and found this to be a problem with the Dodge cravan so I wanted to file this complaint.

Failure started as an intermitent illumination of the air bag light. Later noticed that the cruise control did not work. April 10, 2002 horn would not sound when attempting to signal another car backing out of a parking spot. Avoided the car and an damage. Now the air bag light is on constantly. Neither the horn or cruise control work and I assume the air bag is inoperative. The van is going in for the fuel rail recall on April 29 and I will ask about the clockspring at that time.
