ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
MY 1999 DODGE CARAVAN "AIR BAG" LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE HORN AND CRUISE CONTROL DO NOT WORK. THE DEALER INFORMED ME THAT MY CLOCKSPRING NEEDED REPLACEMENT, BUT THAT MY VEHICLE IS NOT COVERED BY THE CURRENT RECALL. I FIND THE EXPLANATION THAT MY PROBLEM IS "COINCIDENTAL" TO THE RECALL OF THE 1996-1998 VEHICLES SOMEWHAT DUBIOUS. IF THE PROBLEM WAS THAT THE CLOCKSPRING WAS INSTALLED OFF CENTER ON THE EARLIER VEHICLES CAUSING A SUBSEQUENT FAILURE, IS IT NOT LIKELY THAT MY PROBLEM WAS SIMILARLY CAUSED, WARRANTING A REPAIR AT CHRYSLER'S EXPENSE?

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.
