Failure Date: 05/15/2003

The clock spring assembly that is housed in the steering column has failed due to a known design flaw. The assembly controls the deployment of the driver side airbag, the cruise control and the horn. As a result of this failure, I have an airbag notification light that stays on and both the cruise control and horn do not function. This specific item is the subject of a recent recall, however, my VIN# does not appear on the list of vehicles the manufacturer has determined prone to failure. As a result, I am liable for identical repairs without the benefit of redress.

44 Unknown Or Other problem of the 1996 Dodge Caravan

Failure Date: 11/20/2002

This is a report of a design defect in the Dodge Caravan. After discussion, Chrysler corp. Has not admitted any issue and there is no recall applicable. The problem is the fact that the right front strut tower (supports vehicle) is rusting through. This is more than cosmetic and should not happen at any vehicle age / mileage. Ultimate failure will allow the right side of the vehicle suspension to fail with potential loss of control and loss of life. Even though this component has not failed completely on my Dodge Caravan, I wanted to make sure that the safety implications were understood and studied. Thank-you. Dt.
