CRITICAL SAFETY EQUIPMENT HAS FAILED IN MY VEHICLE. MOST IMPORTANTLY, THE HORN HAS STOPPED WORKING AND I AM UNABLE TO ALERT OTHER VEHICLES OF POSSIBLE DANGERS. INOPERATIVE HORN. INOPERATIVE DRIVERS SIDE AIRBAG, INOPERATIVE SPEED CONTROL SYSTEM. THESE SAFETY FEATURE FAILURES ARE DUE TO AIRBAG CLOCKSPRING FAILURE. CHRYSLER RECALL OR NOTIFICATION CODE D17. THE CHRYSLER D17 RECALL (CLOCKSPRING FAILURE) INCLUDED CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY VEHICLES FROM 1998 THROUGH 2000. ALTHOUGH THE MODEL YEAR OF MY VEHICLE IS 2001, THE VEHICLE WAS MANUFACTURED IN AUG. 2000. THE HORN DOES NOT WORK AT ALL. THE HORN NOT WORKING IS A TREMENDOUS SAFETY RISK. I AM VERY FEARFUL FOR MY SAFETY AND THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY. THE AIRBAG NOT WORKING ALSO PUTS ME AND MY FAMILY AT GREAT RISK. I BELIEVE THAT MY VEHICLE WOULD BE INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL BECAUSE THE PART HAS FAILED AND MY VEHICLE WAS MANUFACTURED IN 2000. MY ULTIMATE CONCERN IS THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY AND I WISH THAT CHRYSLER WOULD HONOR THEIR CUSTOMERS BY PROVIDING REPAIR FOR THIS GREAT SAFETY FAILURE. PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR NEED FURTHER CLARIFICATION. THANK YOU. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON AN INTERMITTENT BASIS AND THE HORN DID NOT FUNCTION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT REPAIR SHOP AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE CLOCK SPRING MAY NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 125,000.
CLOCKSPRING HAS FAILED TWICE AND REPLACED TWICE AND IS FAILING AGAIN NOW. AIR BAG, HORN, CRUISE CONTROL AND OTHER COMPONENTS FAIL WHEN CLOCKSPRING FAILS. I FEEL THIS COULD BE A POTENTIAL LIFE THREATENING SITUATION IF AIR BAG FAILS IN AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF CLOCKSPRING FAILURE. *TR
FAILURE OF CLOCKSPRING IN STEERING WHEEL ASSEMBLY. THIS FAILURE CAUSES THE DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG TO QUIT WORKING. IT ALSO CAUSES THE HORN NOT TO WORK. ADDITIONALLY THE CRUISE CONTROL ALSO QUITS FUNCTIONING. THE CLOCKSPRING ELECTRICAL RIBBON BENDS IN ONE SPECIFIC POINT AND OVER TIME THE RIBBON FAILS COMPLETELY. *TR

THE AIR BAG, HORN AND OTHER DEVICES WITH CONTROLS ON THE STREEING WHEEL HAVE FAILED TO OPERATE. THE VEHICLE IS A 2001 TOWN AND COUNTRY CHRYSLER VAN. THERE WAS A RECALL FOR YEAR 2000 AND EARLIER FOR THIS PROBLEM DUE A FAILED CLOCKSPRING. THIS IS AN EARLY 2001 VEHICLE AS I TOOK DELIVERY IN DECEMBER 2000. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE - IT APPEARS THAT THE PROBLEM IS IDENTICAL TO THAT DESCRIBED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN # 04V480000. WHY IS THIS NOT COVERED IN THE RECALL?
