My "clockspring" wiring harness that controls power to the driver-sdie airbag, horn, and cruise control has failed on my 1999 Dodge grand cavan (~45,000 miles) VIN 1b4gp44l3xb886901.

Dodge should be required to fix as almost all vehicles I searched have this problem and it's the result of a manufacturing defect (it was put togather wrong, causing the failure).
