Air Bag Light On problems of the 2001 Dodge Durango

Airbag light comes on when steering wheel is turned to the left. Horn becomes inop. When steering wheel is returned to the right, airbag light goes out. Horn operates again. Suspect fault with the clockspring.

I own a 2001 Dodge Durango. The horn has failed completely. The cruise control has failed completely. The airbag light remains illuminated on the dashboard (along with several other icons), and now I'm finding out that in the event of an accident, the driver's side air bag will also fail. I am told that this is due to a failed "clock spring" and it affects every control located within the steering wheel. This part is on nationwide backorder and I was told today that 1,400 are backordered. Several dealers have told me they have no idea of when (or actually if) this part will be coming in. I understand that Dodge dakotas were recalled for this very reason, however there was no recall on the Dodge Durango. I am now driving a car with no horn, no cruise control and no driver's side airbag.

Air bag light is always on and the horn does not work , cause a bad clock spring .

Tl the contact owns a 2001 Dodge Durango. While the contact was driving he noticed that the air bag light had appeared on the dashboard of his vehicle and that the horn had stop functioning. The vehicle was taken to the dealership where the contact was informed that the clock spring needed to be replaced. The contact did not notice any differences beforehand and the current mileage is 50000, failure mileage was at 48000. Bml.

: the contact stated the air bag light illuminated while driving any speed over bumpy roads or while turning the wheel all the way to one side or the other. This was accompanied by a warning tone from the vehicle. The vehicle was not taken in for service.

The clock spring has failed in my 2001 Dodge Durango 4wd. The air bag light stays on, the steering wheel radio controls are inoperable, the cruise control is inoperable, and the horn is inoperable. Sounds like the same issue that was a recall on the minivans yet local dealers want me to pay for the repair.

I own a 2001 Dodge Durango that is in e. Xcellent condition with approximately 50k miles. The clockspring that sits in the steering column has gone bad causing the airbag light to remain on rendering the airbag useless. It first started a couple of months ago only when turning the steering wheel to the right but has progessively gotten worse, to the point that it is on all of the time.

Consumer read an article in the local newspaper about a NHTSA investigation of the air bag clock spring for a different model of vehicle. Consumer wanted NHTSA to be aware that there were other vehicles experiencing the same problem. Air bag light illuminated, and would not turn off. Vehicle was taken to the dealer, who determined that air bag clock spring had to be replaced.
