THE HORN AND CRUISE CONTROL STOPPED WORKING AND THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON. IT WOULD NOT PASS INSPECTION. IT HAPPEND WHILE IN MOTION AND STATIONARY. THEY SAID THAT THE CLOCK SPRING WAS BROKEN AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THERE IS A RECALL ON THE 1996-1998 MODELS FOR THE BROKEN CLOCKSPRING BUT NOT THE 2001. I SEE LOTS OF COMMENTS THAT THIS IS AN ISSUE BEYOND THOSE MODEL YEARS INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THEY NEED TO EXTEND THE RECALL BEYOND 1998 SINCE THIS IS AN ISSUE WITH MORE THAN THOSE 2 YEARS!

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD WITH MY TWO CHILDREN AND MY CAR STALLED. COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN, AND I CALLED MY HUSBAND TOOK THE VAN TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY RAN TEST ON THE COMPUTER AND THEY SAID WE NEEDED A NEW PCM SO WE BOUGHT ONE AND GUESS WHAT IT STILL DOES NOT WORK 6 MONTHS LATER. WE TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC NEAR BY AND HE SAID HE THINKS ITS THE FUEL PUMP BUT AS MUCH MONEY AS WE HAVE ALREADY SPENT I AM SCARED TO BUY SOMETHING ELSE FOR THIS VAN AND IT NOT WORK. IF YOU CRANK THE CAR UP YOU CAN ONLY DRIVE ABOUT 15 MINUTES AND IT WILL CUT OFF FOR SEVERAL HOURS AND THEN YOU CAN DRIVE AGAIN FOR ANOTHER 15 MINUTES. *TR

CHRYSLER 2001 VOYAGER: 68K MILES AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. APPROXIMATELY 10 NOV 06, AIRBAG ALERT LIGHT CAME ON, INTERMITTENTLY. BY 10 DEC 06, LIGHT IS ON CONSTANTLY. OPERATION OF STEERING WHEEL, SEEMS TO TRIGGER EVENT. FROM INTERNET READING, IT IS EASY TO SEE THAT THE CLOCKSPRING IS DEFECTIVE. THIS PROBLEM WAS HIGHLIGHTED IN NHTSA RECALL NOTICE OF 02V293000, WHICH DOESN'T COVER MY VEHICLE YEAR. EVIDENTLY, IT TAKES TIME FOR THE FAILURE MECHANISM TO EXPOSE ITS SELF. I AM REQUESTING THAT THE NHTSA EXTEND THE RECALL TO MORE RECENT YEARS, AS CHRYSLER HAS NOT DONE ANYTHING TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM, WHILE PASSING THE COST OF REPAIR OF THE DEFECTIVE PART (SAFETY RELATED) TO THE CUSTOMER. *JB

AIR BAG SENSOR LIGHT KEPT TURNING ON ESPECIALLY DURING ANY TURN. DEALER REPLACED DEFECTIVE CLOCK SPRING. SAYS THAT THIS WAS A RECALL ITEM FOR 1998-2000 VOYAGERS BUT NOT 2001. CALLED CHRYSLER AND THEY REFUSED TO NEGOTIATE. I THINK IT IS SHAMEFUL THAT CHRYSLER KNOWS IT HAS A PROBLEM BASED ON PREVIOUS YEARS MODELS BUT FORCES CONSUMER TO PAY FOR REPAIR. *NM
