17 problems related to air bag have been reported for the 1999 Dodge Grand Caravan. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
The serpentine belt on our 1999 Dodge Grand Caravan has slipped off several times. Visit carsurvey. Org and you'll see that many other Dodge owners are experiencing the same problem regularly. Some are getting stuck in the freezing snow as a result. We've had other problems, such as a burned out computer board owed to a short in the driver's side seat. And the driver's side power window will not function. We will not buy another Chrysler vehicle. Furthermore, as a journalist, it's interesting to note that Dodge has not taken responsibility for all the glitches in the caravan and issued additional recalls. I'd have much more respect for the company if they did. We've only had one recall, and that was for a clock spring in the steering wheel.

Received recall notice for clock spring. The cruise control was inoperative and the radio controls were functioning as designed. The clock spring was not in stock. The horn was problematic as well. Recall#04v480000.
No events lead to the failure, just an immediate failure of my horn, cruise control and air bag simultaneously. I had the clockspring replaced.
I have a 1999 Dodge Grand Caravan, with a failed clockspring. I found recalls for this , but my dealer says that my VIN. # isnt covered. I dont understand how other models are covered and mine is not.
1999 Dodge Grand Caravan started to have intermittant 'airbag' light illuminated in turns. Within a day, the light stayed on steady and the horn and speed control stopped working. I understand that there was a recall up through the 1998 models and then the clockspring assembly was replaced with a newer model. It seems that the 'new' clockspring is also defective and I believe that the 1999 and later model minivans need to be included in the previous recall.
We purchased a used 1999 Grand Caravan. Through research we found the clockspring was the problem. Crysler refuses to fix it because they said a different part was used after the last recall. They said save our receipt and if there actually a recall we would be reimbursed 100%.
