49 problems related to horn assembly have been reported for the 1996 Plymouth Voyager. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
I recently heard a news report on a local radio station that the government has launched an investigation into the combined failure of the air bag system, cruise control and horn on approx 3 million Mini vans. Unfortunately, I suspect my van currently has this same problem. It has not been examined by my Chrysler dealer although I did contact them and they advised they were unaware of this type of problem and claimed to have not received any report from Chrysler about this. I also called Chrysler customer assistance and they too were "unaware" of any problems and simply documented my concern. I would like to know if Chrysler is indeed aware of multiple problems with this same failure or are they avoiding admitting to the investigation. I was quite suprised to read in my paper today about the investigation (ea01007) and how the symptems matched mine exactly. About 6 months ago, the air bag light illuminated apon start up and now stays on for the full duration of the drive. A few weeks after that, the cruise control began a bizzare on again, off again pattern. Each time you started the car, it was a crap shoot to see if cruise would be working. A few weeks after that, we noticed the horn no longer works. I'm leary of bringing the vehicle in for "diagnostics" considering some of the repair costs I've heard, associated with air bag system repairs. I would like to be advised as to what chryslers response was and is regarding your announced investigation. Thank you.
Failure disabled airbag and horn. Very dangerous!! can't blow horn to avoid accident.
Horn would stop working intermittently. Finally, it stopped working completely without a warning.
Airbag light stays on. Horn and cruise control do not work. Dealer has advised consumer to fix the defect, clock spring would have to be replacd at consumer's expense.
The clock spring broke on this vehicle. This disabled the horn and power to the cruise control. I know a few other minivan owners and I am not the only person that this happened to. I have never had a problem with steering wheel components with any vehicle I've owned in 30 years. I believe that there is a possible defect in this area.
The clockspring assembly, the system that provides electricity for the driver side air bag, horn and cruise control. The air bag readiness indicator lamp came on and the horn,and cruise control does not work.
Horn wont blow, cruise control won't work, and airbag light is constantly on.
Engine light stays on, airbag light stays on, horn and cruise control inoperable. Suspect defective clockspring est cost to repair $250-400.
In 1999, interior lights failed. 10/2001 horn failed, and airbag lights go on/off :apparenlty it is the modular that control all these items and more such as milege, etc. Called dealer. Said Chrysler has recall on airbag but not for my year.
Horn buttons require excessive strength to press during cold weather.
Airbag indicator is always on, and the airbag will not function if there is a crash. Also horn does not operate so there is no warning device.
Ea01-007,airbag and horn is inoperative due to a defective airbag clockspring which is located inside steering column.
The van was involved in a head on collision mostly on the drivers' side. Neither dual air bags deployed. The owner has just received the recall for the "clock spring" 01-27-2003. Ph.
Air bag light flickered then stayed on, cruise intermittent, no horn.
