    - FREDERICKSBURG, VA

    PROBLEM IS WITH A COMPONENT CALLED A "CLOCK SPRING CONNECTOR". IT CONTROLS NOT ONLY THE AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT SYSTEM BUT ALSO CONTROLS THE CRUISE CONTROL AND HORN OPERATION. I HAVE BEEN OUT ON THE INTERNET AND NOTICED THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH ALL DODGE CARAVANS DATED FROM 1994-2000. I HAVE ALSO SPOKE WITH NUMEROUS REPAIR SHOPS STATING THAT THEY SEE THIS PROBLEM AT LEAST 2-3 TIMES A WEEK. THANK YOU FOR YOU TIME AND CONSIDERATION TO THIS MATTER.*AK
