Failure Date: 01/01/2003

1997 Dodge Grand Caravan. Vehicle was manufactured in 1996. The abs light came on and will not go off. Vehicle was taken to the dealership, who fixed the master cylinder because the light to airbags stayed on. The instrumental panel lights blinked off and on occasionally. When seeing the lights on the dashboard the consumer could look at this as a warning, because I could not see how fast she was going or how much gas there was in the gas tank. This has been a problem for about a year. There were no accidents. I the consumer took vehicle to dealership in 2003, and they changed the clock spring. Also, the dealer said there was nothing else they could do. First, the abs light would come on and go off, now all the lights came on, but nothing was working on dashboard.
