WE HAVE A 2002 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN, AND THE AIR-BAG LIGHT GOES ON AND STAYS ON FOR AWHILE, THEN GOES OFF. I CALLED DAIMLER-CHRYSLER AND THEY GAVE ME NO SATISFACTION. IT IS NOT ON THE RECALL LIST. WE ALSO HAVE A 2000 CHRYSLER GRAND VOYAGER, AND THE LIGHT HAS NEVER GONE ON, BUT IT IS ON THE RECALL LIST. THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE 2002. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR THE PAST TWO YEARS. *TR

THE AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON AND STAYED ON AND THE HORN QUIT WORKING. I HAD TO HAVE CLOCKSPRING AND PASSENGER AIRBAG JUMPER WIRING REPLACED COSTING $524.00. THESE ARE PARTS PREVIOUSLY RECALLED ON EARLIER MODELS, SHOULD NOT BE CONSIDERED AS "WEARABLE" PARTS, AND INVOLVE THE SAFETY OF THE VEHICLE AND THEREFORE SHOULD ALSO BE CONSIDERED FOR RECALL FOR THIS YEAR. *TR
