I RECENTLY PURCHASED A 2008 DODGE CARAVAN. I NEEDED AN INSPECTION STICKER AND COME TO FIND OUT THE HORN WOULDN'T BLOW. HAD A MECHANIC LOOK AT IT AND HE SAID THE COIL IN THE STEERING WAS BAD WHICH ALSO OPERATES THE VEHICLES DRIVER AIRBAG. IT WILL NOT DEPLOY IF I WERE TO BE IN A CRASH. I WOULD THINK THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL BEING THAT THE MECHANIC SAID IT IS COMMON. THIS IS PRICY TO FIX. AFTER THE PART AND LABOR IT WILL COST ME $650.00!..UPDATED 07-08-15 *BF UPDATED 9/15/2015 *JS
