IllustrationTHE CLOCK SPRING IN MY VOYAGER IS FAILING. THE HORN NO LONGER WORKS AND THE AIRBAG LIGHT GOES ON AND OFF INTERMITTENTLY. CHRYSLER HAS RECALLED THIS MINIVAN BEFORE BUT DID NOT EXTEND THE RECALL TO THE 2002 YEAR. I AM CONCERNED THAT I COULD BE IN AN ACCIDENT AND THE AIRBAG WOULD NOT DEPLOY. *TR
