Problems with 1999 Dodge Grand Caravan AIR BAGS

We purchased a used 1999 grand caravan. through research we found the clockspring was the problem. crysler refuses to fix it because they said a different part was used after the last recall. they said save our receipt and if there actually a recall we would be reimbursed 100%.*ak

While driving 25 mph the vehicle went over a pot hole and both front air bags deployed. the front passenger's side axle also broke. *nlm *sc

Clock assembly faulty on 1999 grand caravan. this vehicle is used as a company van. first aiirbag light came on then the cruise control and horn stopped working. twice in emergency situations the horn did not work. had clock assembly replaced at a cost of $304.53. this seems to be a manufacturer problem and a recall should be in place.*ak

When vehicle is started air bag light comes on and stays on. when air bag light comes on neither horn nor or cruise control work. consumer feels that the clock spring is the problem, but is not absolutely sure. *ak

I have a 1999 dodge grand caravan with the "air bag" light on. i have been told that i need the "clock spring" replaced. there was a recall on this issue with dodge in 1998 and 1999. i will send feedback to you when i get this fixed. i also will keep the part that is replaced. many thanks john bousman. *la

Re: 1999 dodge grand caravan had intermittent and then constant air bag light followed shortly thereafter by simultaneous loss of cruise control & horn. *la

The airbag light stays on all the time, the horn will not sound, and the cruise control does not work. the dealer had to replace the clockspring on my 1999 dodge caravan. diamler-chrysler had a recall on their 1996,1997,and 1998 dodge caravans. we owned a 1996 dodge caravan which we bought from the dealer and had it registered. we had to have that clockspring replaced apparently before the recall and we were not notified of that recall. *ak

The clock spring failed, which resulted in the airbag, horn and cruise control functions being inoperative. (the related recall# 02v293000) the consumer's vehicle was not included due to the vehicle identification number. ak the air bag light stayed on. the air bag light was intermittent and when the light had come on, the cruise control and horn would not work. *scc *jb

The vehicle experienced the same defect with the clock spring as stated in recall 02 v 2930 000, however the vehicle identification number, model, and year were not included. *jb *nlm

Nhtsa#02-v-293-000: consumer had the same problem, dealer repaired. this vehicle is not included due to the vin#. ph

Consumer is having the same problem as recall #02v293000 air bag clock spring. ts

Air bag light stays on, horn does not work and cruise control does not work on my 1999 dodge grand caravan. *ak

Sometime within the past two weeks, the air bag light on the instrument panel lit up. the mechanic who usually works on our van (not at the dealership) informed us that there was a "technical service bulletin" concerning the "clock spring." i took the van to the dealer to have the air bag checked, & showed the service technician the service bulletin. the clock spring was, in fact, defective. we own a 1999 dodge grand caravan.

Air bag light comes on intermittently. dealer replaced clock spring cod. problem appears to be same as nhtsa recall 02v293000 for 1997 & 1998 chrysler/dodge vehicles.

I had a collision with a deer at 40 mph and the car was severely damaged but the air bags never deployed. this incident has been reported to dodge for investigation. dt

Air bag light on at all times. horn and cruise controls on the air bag assembly do not work.

Nhtsa#15350-02-v-293-000: airbag clock spring: clocks spring assembly may have been wound incorrectly during the vehicle assembly process. this recall applied for the 98. consumer states has the same problem on his vehicle with air bags. cruise control steering wheel this vehicle is year 1999. ts

While traveling at30-35 mph on gravel roads driver's and passenger's air bags deployed without any warning. contacted dealer, and dealer was not willing to do anything.*ak

Clock spring assembly was replaced in july 2000, at this time, airbag light is on .*ak dealer replaced clock spring assembly again on 14-aug-2001 with 80533 miles. serpentine belt and tensioner replaced, it was causing noise. *slc

The horn is currently not working and after reading a news release i am concerned that my drivers side airbag may not be working. i intend to contact a dodge service department to have the horn repaired and the air bag inspected but wanted to report our concern as the news release indicated that an investigation is currently underway.*ak

While driving at 35 mph vehicle in front suddenly stopped and consumer rear ended the other vehicle. front hood went under the other car, and none of the airbags deployed. consumer has contacted dealer. please provide any further information.*ak

Small metal object (road debris) hit the underside of vehicle causing air bags to deploy while driving. vision was blocked and vehicle almost went off the road. dealer said that impact under car is enough reason for the air bags to deploy. *mr *scc *dimsii ivoq entry posted after 12/12/02 cut-over to artemis---731569
