This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
Consumer had the same problem as mentioned in NHTSA recall 02V293000. Certain mini vans, the clockspring assembly may have been wounded incorrectly during vehicle assembly process. The dealer indicated this vehicle was not included in the recall due to VIN.
Recently found out that my 2001 Dodge Grand Caravan has a bad clock spring. Without replacing the clock spring the air bag will not deploy. I have not yet replaced the spring so cost are unknown.
Airbag light on and off with movement of steering wheel or bumps in road. Dealer replaced clockspring. 200 miles later airbag light is back on and stays on. Taking to dealer tomorrow to be looked at.
Air bag light keeps coming on and going off constantly. This happens intermittently. Contacted dealer, and dealer could not find anything wrong.*akthis vehicle has been in for servicing several times for electrical problems, the remote door opener failed and the passenger side electric window went out.
Dealership informed me that my clockspring was malfunctioning and needed to be replaced. The clockspring would have to be ordered and to return in one week at the start of the day to have it installed. When I returned, I was informed that it was still not available a was now due to it being on national backorder. The airbag light goes off and on at various times. It always comes on and stays on now at initial start up. Plus the attention bell sounds at that same time. This can also occur when changing lanes and making turns. Any motion of the steering wheel can make the light come on and bell ring at any time while vehicle is turned on. This occurs in any gear, as well as while it is in park. Occassionally when driving on a straight-A-way, the light will go off. However a simple lane change makes it come on again. This malfunction makes me fear for my life as well as for others, whether they are my passengers or another vehciles occupants. My greatest fear is that the airbag will deploy while I am driving and cause me to have a serious or fatal accident. I also fear that if I am involved in anytype of accident that the airbag may not deploy at all. I strongly feel that my safety as well as others, is in serious jeapordy. How can I get this part into my dealership and resolved quickly? I anxiously await your needed reponse. Thank you!
