CONSUMER STATES THAT THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WILL AUTOMATICALLY COME ON WITH OUT TURNING ON THE SWITCH. *MR

CONSUMER EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS WITH AIR BAG CLOCKSPRING. HORN HAS STOPPED WORKING. DEALER NOTIFIED. *MR

SIMILAR, OR MAYBE IDENTICAL CLOCK SPRING MODULE, UNDER NHTSA RECALL 1531(DAIMLER/CHRYSLER RECALL #982) JUNE 18, 2001. *PH *JB **DIMSII IVOQ ENTRY POSTED AFTER 12/12/02 CUT OVER TO ARTEMIS**768015

OUR HORN AND CRUISE CONTROL ARE INOPERATIVE. OUR AIRBAG LIGHT IS LIT. I UNDERSTAND THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE CLOCKSPRING ASSEMBLY. MR

WAS TOLD THAT HORN NEEDED FUSE. DISCOVERED LATER THAT CRUISE CONTROL DIDN'T WORK. WEB RESEARCH POINTS TO FAILED CLOCK SPRING MECHANISM. *NLM **DIMSII IVOQ ENTRY POSTED AFTER 12/12/02 CUT-OVER TO ARTEMIS*767682

I UNDERSTAND THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING SAFETY PROBLEM AND HAVING TO PAY NEARLY $300 FOR SOMETHING THAT HAS BEEN UNDER REVIEW IS VERY UNSATISFYING. HOPE A CONCLUSION WILL BE REACHED ON THIS ISSUE.NO SAFETY DEFECT MENTIONED. *AK

NHTSA RECALLS 97I001000 & 98V185000 INTEGRATED SEAT; OWNER HAS A PROBLEM DUE TO DEALERSHIP REPLACING REGULAR BENCH SEAT WITH AN INTEGRATED CHILD SAFETY SEAT BENCH. OWNER IS AWARE OF RECALLS FOR INTEGRATED CHILD SAFETY SEAT BENCH, BUT MANUFACTURER DECLINES DUE TO VIN. BUT WHAT ABOUT SEAT WHICH WAS REPLACED BY DEALERSHIP? NO FURTHER ASSISTANCE GIVEN BY MANUFACTURER OR DEALERSHIP. PLEASE DESCRIBE DETAILS. *AK

INVESTIGATION REVEALS THAT DODGE/CHRYSLER/PLYMOUTH HAS SOLD THOUSANDS OF REPLACEMENT CLOCKSPRINGS. SINCE FAILURE OF THIS COMPONENT AFFTECTS TWO SAFETY FEATURES, AIRBAG & HORN, I BELIEVE THEIR SHOULD BE FACTORY RECALL AND I SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO RECOVER THE COST OF REPAIRS.*AK

CLOCKSPRING IS DEFECTIVE, YET CHRYLSER WHO KNOWS THIS, INSISTS ON CUST PAYING FOR IT OUT OF POCKET - THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN!!!*AK

FUEL FILTER FITTING UNDER CAR SUBJECT TO ROAD DEBRI, PLASTIC FITTING WILL DISCONNECT ALLOWING FUEL PUMP TO THROW RAW FUEL ALL OVER UNDERCARRAGE.*AK
