problem #33

Ram 3500 6-cyl Diesel

  • 0 miles
The airbag light is on and the horn does not function. I was told that it is some type of a clock spring that is mounted under the steering wheel. My parents had a 1996 Dodge Grand Caravan that had the same issue and there was a recall on it and it was fixed, but I cannot find a recall for my vehicle which is also made by Chrysler just one year older. I believe this to be a safety problem that is unique to Chrysler. I own a 1995 Dodge ram3500.
