Caravan

The airbag light came on and never went out. The horn didnt work, cruise control didnt work, and dealer said the airbag would deploy while driving. I have 2 Caravan and the other is a '96 and that one was diagnosed at the dealer for 35 dollars and they told me it needed a new airbag and a clockspring for over $1,000 dollars. Later finding out they lied saying it need the whole airbag in reality it only needed the clockspring, I replace the clockspring on both my vans. The dealer wanted 250 dollars a peice to install it. This is a safety issue. The horn doesnt work and the airbag could deploy at anytime.

problem #67

Aug 202002

(reported on)

Caravan

  • miles
The air bag indicator light came on and stayed on and now the cruise control and horn do not work. I have researched this problem and it seems that this is a very common problem. It is stated that the "clock spring" is the part in question, this seems to have been a safety issue at one time (NHTSA# 98V046) for a different model, why is it not a safety recall item now? it is my understanding the the air bag will not perform with this particular part defective, which would lead me to believe that this could cause serious damages or worse yet "death ". if we get a reduction in our insurance premiums for purchasing restraint systems such as this, it should be upon the manufacturer to stand behind the product.
