Failure Date: 11/03/2011

Air bag light started to come on and off intermittently. On the second day it came on and stayed on. On the second day I also noticed no horn and no cruise control. All indications are that it is the clock spring. Emailed Chrysler to see if it was a recall or safety covered item. They stated no that the entire cost to replace it will be mine $300 plus dollars. From my understanding Chrysler is having problems with a lot of clock springs. I feel they should cover this item as it is not an item that should fail that easily.
