16 problems related to air bag have been reported for the 1997 Plymouth Voyager. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Consumer stated that air bags and horn did not work. She took vehicle to the mechanic, and was told that there was a recall on the air bags. But, consumer did not receive a recall notice. Also, rear view mirror did not work properly.
Consumer received a recall notice #02v-293-000 referencing the air bag clockspring. The consumer called the manufacturer who told the consumer that the vehicle was going to be replaced with the same part the vehicle already had. Please provide any additional information.
Consumer requested reimbursement for repairs that were made on the minivan's clock spring.
Vehicle was not started. However, gear lever will move on its own. Gears move without placing foot on the brake. Consumer adds, there is a problem w/airbag, because the light is constantly on which prohibits the horn from working. (she concerned because she has small children).
The manufacturer's assembly located in the steering column, refered to as the "clockspring" is defective- causing the following problems: (1) a false airbag warning lamp, (2) un-commanded windshield wiper operation, and (3) intermittant operation (on/off) of the cruise control system. Horn failure is also a known symptom of a defective "clockspring". I believe all of the above symptoms can be classified as a safety issue and it should be the responsibility of the manufacture (chysler corporation) to replace the defective component at their cost.

The vehicles clock spring failed and caused the horn and cruise control to be inoperative. The consumer request reimbursement for this repair. Ph.
Clock sping component failed causing deactivation of air bag, horn, and cruise control. I believe this is a design defect and a safety issue and this part should be recalled and the manufacturer should repair free of charge to the consumer.
Transmission failed to shift into higher gears. The first time the dealer replaced some parts in the transmission, the second time the dealer stated the entire transmission needed to be replaced. Ts and the clock spring needed to be replaced.
Defective clockspring, causing safety systems not to work.
Clock spring needs replacing. Noticed recent recall for Chrysler sport utility for this same problem. Also noticed a large number of van owners have this same problem. Are you investigating? is there going to be a recall on minivan clock springs due to high incidence of failure?.
I first noticed this problem when cruise control quit working. Horn quit at the same time and air bag red light came on and has stayed on.
