I HAVE A 2000 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY LIMITED ALL WHEEL DRIVE MINI VAN. I BROUGHT THE VAN IN FOR SERVICE ON JUNE 30TH BECAUSE THE AIRBAG LIGHT WAS STAYING ON , ALSO NOTHING WAS WORKING ON THE STEERING WHEEL. THE RADIO CONTROLS, THE CRUISE CONTROL, THE HORN, AND I PRESUME THE AIRBAG. THE DEALER IS CHARGING ME $500.00 TO REPLACE THE CLOCK SPRING IN THE STEERING WHEEL. THIS IS A ELECTRONIC CONTROL BOX THAT OPERATES EVERYTHING IN THE STEERING WHEEL. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS PART. *NM
