FAILURE OF AIR BAG/HORN CONNECTION. (CLOCKSPRING) DT

EXPERIENCED UNEVEN RESPONSE FROM TRANSMISSION AS DRIVER BEGAN TO ACCELERATE AFTER GOING DOWN HILL AND TRANSITIONED TO UPHILL GRADE. TOOK VEHICLE INTO SERVICE DEPT. AND HAD COMPUTER CHIP REPLACED AND TRANSMISSION CHECKED AND FLUSHED. STILL EXPERIENCING JERKY ACCERLERATION WHEN BEGINNING TO ACCELERATE UPHILL AFTER GOING DOWN HILL. DT

WHILE TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY HE PRESS DOWN ON THE HORN AND IT WASN'T OPERABLE. PLEASE PROVIDE ADDITIONAL INFORMATION DEALER IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. TS

CONSUMER IS ORIGINAL OWNER OF VEHICLE AND HAS HAD 2 TRANSMISSIONS FAIL WITHOUT WARNING WHILE DRIVING. DEALER HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO DETERMINE CAUSE OF FAILURES. FIRST FAILURE OCCURED AT 55K MILES, SECOND AT 119K MILES. TS

THE AIRBAG LIGHT WAS ON, AND THE CAUSE WAS UNKNOWN. CONSUMER STATED DEALER WAS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. MR ALL THE ITEMS USING THE RING SWITCH DID NOT WORK. THE DEALER STATED THEY WOULD GO OUT FREQUENTLY AND CAUSE THE DRIVER AIR BAG, CRUISE CONTROL, AND HORN NOT TO WORK. *JG *JB

THE CONSUMER'S SON WAS DRIVING WHEN THE TRANSMISSION FAILED. MASSIVE AMOUNTS OF METAL WAS FOUND INSIDE OF THE DIFFERENTIAL. THE TRANSMISSION WOULD ONLY GO IN REVERSE. THE SLIDING DOOR MOTOR FAILED AND THE DRIVERSIDE POWER LOCKS ON THE DRIVER SIDE SLIDE DOOR HAD BECOME INOPERATIVE. THE CONSUMER REQUESTED REIMBURSEMENT. SCC

THIS AUTO HAS A NUMEROUS/EXPENSIVE REPAIRS, WE HAVE NOT BEEN NOTIFIED OF RECALLS FOR THIS CAR. HELP WHAT DO WE DO? DT

THE AIRBAG LIGHT ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL STAYS LIGHTED ADDITIONALLY THE HORN DOES NOT WORK. THIS IS, IN MY OPINION A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE CORRECTED BY CHRYSLER. I HAVE READ SEVERAL INCIDENTS OF THIS SAME ISSUE REPORTED ON VARIOUS WEB SITES OF THESE FAILURES SO THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED CASE AND SHOULD BE REGARDED AS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. DT

THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT COMES ON INTERMITTENTLY. ACCORDING TO THE INFORMATION GIVEN TO ME BY A LOCAL CHYRSLER DEALER, THIS PROBLEM IS TYPICALLY CAUSED BY A FAULTY CLOCK SPRING, AND THE DRIVER'S SIDE AIR BAG WILL NOT DEPLOY WHEN THE WARNING LIGHT IS ON. THE CLOCK SPRING WAS REPLACED ONCE UNDER WARRANTY ON JUNE 6, 1997, AT 7922 MILES. MY COMPLAINT AT THAT TIME WAS A CRUNCHING SOUND THAT CAME FROM THE AREA OF THE STEERING COLUMN, WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL WAS TURNED IN EITHER DIRECTION.

CONSUMER STATES THAT THE AIR BAG SENOR LIGHTS COMES ON AND STAYS ON. WHICH MAY RESULT IN THE AIR BAG NOT DEPLOYING IN AN ACCIDENT OR PERMATURLY DELOYING. NLM

THE CONSUMER STATES THAT THE CLOCK SPRING IS BAD AND THE AIR BAG LIGHT STAYS ILLUMINATED, THE HORN WILL NOT WORK, AND THE CRUISE CONTROL WILL NOT ENGAGE. *JB *SCC

THE MANUFACTURER'S ASSEMBLY LOCATED IN THE STEERING COLUMN, REFERED TO AS THE "CLOCKSPRING" IS DEFECTIVE- CAUSING THE FOLLOWING PROBLEMS: (1) A FALSE AIRBAG WARNING LAMP, (2) UN-COMMANDED WINDSHIELD WIPER OPERATION, AND (3) INTERMITTANT OPERATION (ON/OFF) OF THE CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEM. HORN FAILURE IS ALSO A KNOWN SYMPTOM OF A DEFECTIVE "CLOCKSPRING". I BELIEVE ALL OF THE ABOVE SYMPTOMS CAN BE CLASSIFIED AS A SAFETY ISSUE AND IT SHOULD BE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE MANUFACTURE (CHYSLER CORPORATION) TO REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE COMPONENT AT THEIR COST. NLM

THE SPECIFIC FAILURE I AM EXPERIENCING IS THIS: INTERMITTENTLY AND RANDOMLY (ABOUT 50% OF MY DRIVING TIME) THE AIRBAG LIGHT ON THIS INSTRUMENT PANEL GOES ON, THE HORN WON'T WORK, AND THE CRUISE CONTROL WON'T WORK.*AK
