1998 DODGE CARAVAN Complaints

MY CASE IS ABOUT WHAT THE CALL THE " CLOCKSPRING" I AM VERY CONCERN ABOUT THIS, I THINK DODGE SHOULD LOOK AT THIS LIVES COULD BE LOST. BECAUSE OF THIS.......

WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, THE CONSUMER SAW THAT ALL FOUR TIRES WERE CRACKED. PLEASE PROVIDE TIRE INFORMATION. *JB

AFTER STARTING THE VEHICLE AIR BAG LIGHT ILLUMINATED, AND THE HORN BECAME DISABLED. DEALERSHIP WAS NOTIFIED, BUT DID NOT RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. *AK

I HAVE 2 CHRYSLER MINI VANS ONE 1997 & 1998. WE RECEIVIED A RECALL REGARDING DEFECTS WHICH RELATED TO MOTOR SAFETY RECALL IN SOME 1996 THROUGH 1998 MINIVANS. SINCE MY 1998 WAS EXPERIENCING THE DEFECT LISTED FAILED CLOCKSPRING ALLOWING AIR BAG LIGHT TO BE ILLUMINATED AND SPEED CONTROL SYSTEM TO BE INOPERATIVE WE TOOK THE VAN TO A NEARBY CHRYSLER DEAR TO BE REPAIRED ONLY TO FIND OUT OUR VIN NUMBER WAS NOT THE ONE LISTED TO BE RECALLED. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHEN THE RECALL STATES SOME 1996 THROUGH 1998 MODEL YEAR MINIVAN'S HOW DO THEY DETERMINE WHICH VIN NUMBER TO BE RECALLED. MY 1997 WAS THE VIN NUMBER TO BE RECALLED HOWEVER MY 1998 VAN IS EXPERIENCING THE RECALL PROBLEM. MY 1998 VAN ALSO HAS 78,000 MILES THE RECALL STATES IF MIMIVAN HAS 70,000 OR LESS CLOCKSPRING WILL BE REPLACED WITHOUT CHARGE EVEN IF IT APPEARS TO BE FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. MY 1998 IS NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. CHRYSLER HAS IDENTIFIED THE PROBLEM STATES MY AIRBAG MAY NOT DEPLOY IN A FRONTAL CRASH. ARBITARY MILAGE AND VIN NUMBER DECEISIONS BY THE MANUFACTURE SHOULD NOT CAUSE THE CONSUMER TO HAVE DANGEROUS AND LIFE THREATING PARTS IN THEIR VIEHICALS. *AK

WHEN THE FUEL TANK IS FULL A GASOLINE ODOR ENTERS THE PASSENGER CABIN OF THE VEHICLE, AND GASOLINE LEAKS UNDER THE VEHICLE. THE FUEL TANK SEAL WAS REPLACED, BUT THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. *AK WHEN CONSUMER WENT BACK TO THE DEALER, THEY SUGGESTED TO REPLACE THE FUEL TANK BECAUSE THE COLLAR ON TOP OF THE TANK SHAPED LIKE AN EGG INSTEAD OF THE CIRCULAR SHAPE; HOWEVER, CONSUMER REFUSED BECAUSE HE BELIEVED THAT IT WAS MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT. *LA

WHILE DRIVING AIR BAG LIGHT SUDDENLY ILLUMINATED ON THE DASHBOARD. WHEN THIS OCCURRED IT RENDERED THE HORN AND CRUISE CONTROL INOPERATIVE. RECALL 02V290000 WAS ISSUED FOR THE AIR BAG, BUT THIS VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL DUE TO VIN. *AK

AFTER STARTING MY VAN, WHETHER I HAVE IT IN PARK, DRIVE, NEUTRAL, OR REVERSE, I AM ABLE TO REMOVE MY KEY FROM THE IGNITION. ALSO, IF I AM TURNING MY VAN OFF, AND I ACCIDENTALLY TURN IT TO AUXILLARY, I AM STILL ABLE TO REMOVE MY KEY FROM THE IGNITION.*AK THIS ISN'T SUPPOSE TO HAPPEN, IS IT?

CONSUMER WAS COMPLAINING ABOUT FRONT AIR BAG LIGHT COMING ON INTERMITTENTLY.*AK *LA

WHEN DRIVING AT AN UNDETERMINED SPEED AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT APPEARED ON THE DASHBOARD CONSUMER INFORMED THE DEALERSHIP ABOUT THIS ISSUE. HOWEVER, THE MECHANIC WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. *AK

THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT STAYED ON WHICH RENDERED THE CRUISE CONTROL AND THE HORN INOPERATIVE. THERE WAS AIR BAG CLOCK SPRING RECALL 02V293000, BUT THIS VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED DUE TO VIN. *AK *JB
