We bought this car as the third owner the air bag light was on the cruise control didn't work and the horn wouldn't sound. After searching the internet,and finding out that they had many many of the internal pasts changed and the multitudes of people reimbursed, we took our car to the dealer and told because we were the third owner,and that the mileage was high,they would not accept responsibility. The car was never been in a accident,nor has it been abused. I think that because my horn can't work it may be a concern. I also think wile driving my air bag may deploy causing an insident. Both Dodge Intrepid , and other Dodges have the same problems. The problem can be resolved by paying 4-to5 hundred dollars to the consumer. I feel as though the cost and replacement of the part should go back to the manufacturer as it is an internal part in the steering that breaks with out warning and without any cause from outside sources I. E. Accedentsor other. Because not enough people contacted you, the manufacturer decided it wasn't good enough to be considered or issue a recall.

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.

When turning into a driveway there was a snapping sound in the steering column and I could feel it in the steering wheel. The air bag light went on and later we found out there was no cruise control. I am familiar with people who work in auto body so I called him as we were out of state. He told me to pull the fuse on the airbags because they could accidentally go off. I called a Dodge dealer in the area and he said it needed to be fixed immediately so the airbag did not go off accidentally. We took the car to a dealer whom told us it probably happened because the clock spring was wound too tight causing it to break and even though it is caused when manufactured it would not be covered. Thankfully I knew to call someone immediately or it may have resulted in a major accident.

My airbag light is remaining on, the horn is not working, and cruise control doesn't work and from it is my belief, that my vehicle has same clockspring problem that Chrysler had with some of its 1996-98 minivans. I believe the horn and air bag are safety items and should be repaired.

I was involved in a car accident (I was the driver)in which my car was impacted by another vehicle (1997 full-size Dodge van). The point of impact was the driver's side, the left front end of my vehicle (Dodge Intrepid, 1996). The impact was so strong that it caused the battery to break in half, among other damages. I was using the seat belt, and saw the airbag light come-on; but the air bag did not activate. I have not gone to the dealer with this information. Will do so, once the insurance company has completed its report. My car has been declared a total loss because the repair costs exceed the market value of the vehicle. I did not suffer major injuries as a result of this accident, even though the force of the impact did cause the seat belt to tighten its greeep and this did caused some brusing and severe chest and side pain. I am sending this complaint so that the problem can be noted and if it hasn't reported previously and corrected, that it be done, as to avoid others having the same problem, and face worse luck than I.

There is a little shelf on the right side of instrument panel, and had a few coins on that shelf. While making a right turn, the coins fell behind the steering column and the airbag light came on, indicating a problem with the airbag system. An hour later, the airbag light came off.
