| Driver's side air bag, the horn and the cruise control do not work. it is quite obvious that these defects are caused by a defective clock spring. this was a matter of recall for the dodge caravan and grand caravan, plymouth voyager and grand voyager and chrysler town and country from the 1996-2000 model years. our car is 2001 model and is not in a recall list, but it is quite obvious to me that the defect was not fixed in 2001 year models. am i alone complaining about this unfixed problem?

| When starting my 2001 dodge caravan sport, the speedometer bounces around and flips back behind the piece that is underthe 0 mph, preventing the speedometer from working. it is an imtermittent problem that has become increasingling worse in the last 3 weeks (3 times). the first couple of times i could hit on the dash when the car was off and it would reset and work fine, but this does not always work so when i'm driving i can't tell how fast i'm going. no injuries or tickets yet-i haven't been able to take in to be looked at while this was occuring so i could get it fixed. i have also had problems with the driver side window (power) getting stuck down (2 times in last 3 months). i have also had a rattleing noise that occurs when i'm driving at a steady 45 mph under the front end. i had a dealer fix it under my extended warranty, but it started doing it again after about a week. i have not been able to take it back in to be looked at. | |||

| Sudden acceleration. starting from a stop light, the van began accelerating without control. attempts to stop were unsuccessful. acceleration stopped as sudden as it started. car dealer said it possibly was a build up of carbon around the airintake flap causing it to stick open. paid $160 for maintenance to clean the intake. it was a scary incident that could have resulted in an accident.*ak | |||
