The air bag light lit up, and shortly afterwards, the cruise control and horn stopped working. The dealer advisor called me and said that the clock spring would have to be replaced. A couple hours later, he called me and informed me that the wires in the airbag had overheated and the entire air bag assembly would now have to be replaced. The company reimbursed me last month for the clock spring, which they said was recalled. However, I feel that I should also be reimbursed for the airbag assembly, since it was connected to the clockspring. This is a major safety issue that has affected many other consumers with this same vehicle. The dealer advisor gave us the clock spring as we requested, but said that they could not give us the air bag, since it needed to be sent to Chrysler for failure analysis.

Airbag light comes on intermittently. Clock spring being replaced today at a cost of $220. Was told there was a recall on previous year Voyager with same problem, but mine is not covered. Looking at the amount of complaints regarding this, and the current open investigation, I believe crysler needs to include this in the recall.

My vehicle has the same issue noted in recall#02V293000 which is the clock spring failure causing the air bag light to remain illuminated, the horn/air bag and cruise control to be unoperable. The Chrysler dealer will not fix under warranty as the recall is for Plymouth Grand Voyager up to model year 1998. I do not understand why the recall does not extend to the 1999 models as the same issue is apparent as reported by several consumers on this site and I'm sure it has not been reported by even more. I consider this a serious safety issue that should be taken seriously by Chrysler and recalled regardless of year/mileage.

The clock spring failed, which caused the airbags to be inoperative. There was a recall issued for the clock spring, but the vehicle was outside of the remedy scope.

1999 Plymouth Grand Voyager SE - airbag light came on at 72000 miles. I found that daimler-Chrysler had a safety recall on 1996-1998 Plymouth vans because the clockspring was not installed properly in the steering column. Causing the airbag to become inoperable, the horn and cruise control to also stop working. I found on a Plymouth forum that many other 1999 van owners have had the same problems. When I called Chrysler, they said the recall did not cover the 1999 van and that they would not extend the safety recall.
