Got in the vehicle to go to an appointment, and the airbag warning light was illuminated. Also, I no longer have cruise control, or the use of the horn. I was told by Chrysler that there may be a future recall on the clockspring mechanism that controls these items. I was also told that while it is highly unlikely, there is a chance that the airbag could inadvertantly be deployed for no reason. I am still waiting for a recall to begin. The part to repair the car is over $250. I am still driving the car as I am on social security and can't afford the parts. My hope is that I don't have a takata airbag on top of it all!!.
Air bag warning light remains illuminated, indicating a malfunction which could cause air bags to inadvertently deploy, vehicle not included in recall 00v105000 due to VIN.
Speedometer intermittently works along with the airbag warning light coming on. Deaelr has seen and repaired vehicle.
