Air bag light came on , then no cruise control, no horn, air bag light stays on. Was told that there might be a recall on this peticular vehicle. Called dealership in bloomington, in. And was told that they didn't know and that they don't handle recalls.
The air bag light came on. At that time I did not know anything else was wrong. Later on Dec 27, 2009, while traveling to florida and finally using the cruise control, I realized that it was not working and the radio controls were not working, plus the horn does not work and of course the air bag light is as of this date 1/3/10 still is lit. Googling the problem, it may be the clock spring. This is a 2001 Dodge Intrepid, 3. 2 l. I understand there may be a safety problem. I want to know if this is under any kind of recall??? at this point I am waiting to see if there is a recall before I get it repaired.
Seems that there is a thing called a clock spring---in the steering mech-(sorta a replacement for the old horn contacts)---seems to be a common problem---when it fails it turns on the drivers side airbag light--you loose your horn and also the cruise control--no recall on this model yet--but some other same mfg. Products are under recall.
