While driving my 2003 Dodge Stratus, I was in the process of turning and I heard a kind of snap and then I felt and heard a grinding in my steering wheel. For about a week whenever I had to make a turn there was this noise list a spring was caught and almost would get caught and I would have to quickly jerk the steering wheel so it wouldn't get stuck and keep me from turning. My airbag light came on and stays on, so it won, T deploy in an accident, my horn doesn't work, and I lost function of my speed control. I was told this is my clockspring. This faulty clockspring was recalled in many Dodge vehicles but has yet to be recalled in my vehicle. See safety recall no. B24 (11/01/2002) for 1998 Dodge vehicles but Dodge continued to use these faulty clocksprings that in fact should have a lifetime warranty.

I was backing out of parking space when I heard a cracking noise when I turned the steering wheel.then the airbag light came on.then I noticed the horn did not work. Upon investigation on the internet I am 100% convinced that the clock spring has broken.further investigation shows there is a recall on Chrysler-Dodge clock springs but only on certain year-models which doesn't make sense. The year or model of the vehicle is irrelevant if the clock spring part in question (the one in the recall) was/is still being installed on vehicles not in the recall like mine a 2003 Dodge Stratus a little investigation on your end will clearly show this to be the case. I'd be willing to bet that my clock spring has the same manufacturing numbers as the recalled clock springs.

1. I took my car to have the oil changed. 2. engine light came on & was reset. 3. fuel pump needs replacing. I only have 57K miles and there is a recall on other models (03V443000). I also have the airbag light on which is identified as the clockspring and has also been recalled in other similar models. Neither of these are shown as recalled on my vehicle.

I bought my Dodge Stratus in Feb. Of 2004, it is a 2003. Since then it has been in the shop 5 times due to the motor in the window going out, the air conditioning going out, the cruise control went out, the cd player is not functioning correctly and now the safety feature (air bag system) is failing as well. I have owned other cars in the past with higher miles than this vehicle and I never had the problems that I am having with this one. I am upset with this vehicle. I feel that buying a newer car with low miles should leave the buyer feeling happy and safe with their decision. However, I am neither happy with this vehicle and I do not feel safe in this vehicle knowing now that there is something wrong with my air bag system. The service department has fixed most of the problems so far (they are unable to get the air bag system looked for a few days...so much for safety matters!). I am extremely unhappy with this vehicle and with the Chrysler (Dodge) company.

Steering column makes a popping noise. Airbag light comes on and is in-operative according to Dodge dealer. Cruise control is also in-operative. When asked about the safety of driving vehicle without an operative airbag they replied "if you are so concerned with safety, then park the car and don't drive it." Notice on websites there are re-calls issued for other vehicles with same defect but none on Stratus at this time. Dealer was very rude when notified of problem and charged $60 to verify the problem, when I informed them what it was to begin with.
