I have a 98 Dodge Caravan it has no dash lights parking lights or horn. I have no idea what it could be.

2 Horn Assembly problem

Failure Date: 03/15/2012

I was backing out of a parking space in 2012, when the brakes completely failed, I had to put my vehicle into gear in order for it to stop. Even though I was only going 5 mph or less, I was on a downhill slope. There wasn't an accident nor any damage, so I don't have that to report. The van was taken to towbin Dodge in henderson, nv that weekend I believe and I was told that the recall defect had been fixed. However, the horn, airbag light and abs still do not work. My VIN #1b4gp45l7wb761901, my question is this. If the recall problem is still defective even though it's been repaired, what am I supposed to do?.
