1996 DODGE CARAVAN Complaints

AIRBAG LIGHT STAYS ON, HORN DOESN'T WORK, CRUISE CONTROL DOESN'T WORK. I WAS TOLD BY DEALER THE CLOCK SPRING NEEDS REPLACING AND THAT THIS DEFAULT COULD CAUSE THE AIRBAGS TO NOT DEPLOY IN A CRASH. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD THAT NEEDS TO BE RECALLED BY CHRYSLER. *AK

CHILD WAS IN INTEGRATED CHILD SEAT AND SEAT WOULD UNBUCKLE, BUT THE STRAPS WOULD NOT RETRACT SO CHILD COULD GET OUT OF SEAT. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE. TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER, AND DEALER INDICATED A CABLE AND/OR INTERNAL PARTS HAVE BROKEN. *AK

AIR BAG LIGHT STAYS ILLUMINATED WHILE DRIVING. ALSO, THE HORN ASSEMBLY AND CRUISE CONTROL ARE INOPERABLE. PLEASE ADD FURTHER DETAILS.*AK

THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY DURING EXTENSIVE ACCIDENT, AND THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT IS ON CONSTANTLY, AS WELL AS THE HORN NOW DOES NOT WORK. BOTH FAILURES COINCIDED WITH EACH OTHER. THE SYMPTOM STARTED RATHER INTERMITTENT, THEN BECAME SOLID WITHIN ABOUT TWO WEEKS. I FOUND THAT I DO NEED A HORN, SOMETHING I THOUGHT I NEVER USED. A FUNCTIONING AIRBAG WOULD BE NICE!*AK

CONSUMER WAS TRAVELING ABOUT 55MPH ON HIGHWAY AND VEHICLE STARTED LOSING POWER, ALSO THERE WAS GRAY SMOKE COMING FROM UNDERNEATH OF VEHICLE. DEALERSHIP WAS AWARE OF PROBLEM. *AK CONSUMER STATES THE MANUFACTURER ISSUED A RECALL #895 FOR FUEL RAIL O-RING LEAK, BUT WAS NOT IMPLEMENTED. THIS CAUSES THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT TO CATHCH ON FIRE. *YH
