Seven problems related to front air bag have been reported for the 1996 Plymouth Grand Voyager. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
My husband was driving our van, and he got into a fender bender and was only going 4 to 5 mph, and he lightly hit a pole due to sun glare, and it did not make a impact at all , and both air bags popped out, and I was injury badly. The dashboard that was covering the airbag flew off, and cut my head open, and the bag fractured my nose, and my whole top part of my body is sore and bruised. The air bags went off 30 seconds after the accident, and was very late. I could have been killed. My husband is bruised and very sore from the bag hitting him on the chest.
Consumer had already fixed the recall #02-v-293-000 and sent the documentation to the manufacturer and had been waiting for reimbursement since January.
Consumer states horn, cruise control and air bag are inoperative. Vehicle checked by dlr who determined a defective clock spring. Related recall ea01007/air bag clockspring. Mr.

I have received a recall notice for a radiator fan relay, which is not mentioned on your site. Today, I found a new leak of transmission fluid, the red lights are again flashing on and off, there are power surges in the control panels, the engine chokes and shudders. Oh, and the a/c is out again. We won't even mention the windhield wipers which have continually gone on and off since we have owned this car, or the airbag alarms, or the incredible amount of money we have put into this maintained car. My 20,000 car has become a 40,000 lemon. There is simply no excuse for this, mileage or not. I have attempted to keep this car because I wanted a "safe" car for my teenagers to drive. Now, it appears I have them driving the pinto of the 1990's. I thought I was keeping my kids safe!! when the engine failed, I had the car taken to an non dealer becuase I am fed up with their attitudes. . . What do you expect at 100,000 miles, etc. When the first diagnostic was ran on the car, a bewildering array of codes came up. After changing the spark plugs, all of the codes dissapeared. However, the electrical problems increased in intensity, and now I'm afraid my daugher will go up in a fireball. I already assume there will be no response from the manufacturer. . . . I am going to consider a suit as I consider these cars dangerous! fuel leaks, static charge buildups? come on!.
During front end collision no deployment of driver and passenger air bags.
The vehicle clock spring failed prior to recall notification (recall # 02v-293000). The consumer requested reimbursement but has not received it yet.
