The air bag indicator light came on and stayed on and now the cruise control and horn do not work. I have researched this problem and it seems that this is a very common problem. It is stated that the "clock spring" is the part in question, this seems to have been a safety issue at one time (NHTSA# 98v046) for a different model , why is it not a safety recall item now? it is my understanding the the air bag will not perform with this particular part defective, which would lead me to believe that this could cause serious damages or worse yet "death ". If we get a reduction in our insurance premiums for purchasing restraint systems such as this , it should be upon the manufacturer to stand behind the product.
I noticed my airbag light staying on and the horn not working. I called a dealer and was told that it was probably a clockspring. She said they go out regularly. It evidently affects the airbag, horn and other components. Not long after mine went out, my mothers started doing the same thing. She also has a 1997 model Dodge, but hers is a grand Caravan. I then went to my mechanic to ask him if he could fix it and he said he had just had someone else come in with the same problem. It seems to me that this is very unsafe.
