CRITICAL SAFETY EQUIPMENT HAS FAILED IN MY VEHICLE. MOST IMPORTANTLY, THE HORN HAS STOPPED WORKING AND I AM UNABLE TO ALERT OTHER VEHICLES OF POSSIBLE DANGERS. INOPERATIVE HORN. INOPERATIVE DRIVERS SIDE AIRBAG, INOPERATIVE SPEED CONTROL SYSTEM. THESE SAFETY FEATURE FAILURES ARE DUE TO AIRBAG CLOCKSPRING FAILURE. CHRYSLER RECALL OR NOTIFICATION CODE D17.
