Air bag light stays on and has since first purchased, horn has not worked for about 8 months, cruise control quit working 3 months ago. reading other complaints it appears there was a recall stating the problem is with the column clock spring. if i could receive a recall for the manufacturer to just provide a replacement column clock spring my nephew would place it on the van. | |||

On 2 separate ocassions the speed sensors to the transmission stopped working and it put my 1999 plymouth voyager in limp mode and wouldn't allow my vehicle to go above 35mph. i has the sensors replaced at a cost of approx. $250 each time. the dealership admitted frequent problems with the sensors but said chrysler has not taken any action to consider it a recall item.*ak | |||

This is my third attempt at getting this matter reported! i have called twice before (around 7/17 and again around 8/7) but have yet to receive the form(s) i need to sign! according to your site my report is the first step in getting this very definite safety related defect fixed. i have no air bags that work, as far as i know, no horn (definitely), and no cruise control. i know it is probably the clockspring, but cannot afford to have it fixed!*ak | |||

Egr system failure (failing airbags, horn, and cruise control system)-as per an article in todays atlanta journal-constitution, you are currently probing plymouth grand voyagers from model years 1998 & 1999 due to 109 complaints regarding failing airbags, horns, and cruise control systems. therefore, since my van had the same problem, i want to be added to your list.*ak | |||

I have a 1999 plymouth grand voyager that is experiencing a problem with the clockswitch (horn, cruise control not working, airbag light on). i called the recall line with chrysler and they said my van was not covered on the recall. only 1996-1998. i noticed when the investigation was taking place all vehicles from 1996-2000 were being looked at. i think chrysler should fix the problem with my clockswitch for free because this is a safety defect. *ak | |||

1999 plymouth grand voyager. vin 2p4gp44r2xr377984. the subject vehicle has had a failure of the clock spring mechanism (according to the dealer). this has resulted in the failure of the air bag deployment (along with cruise control and horn). chrysler has admitted this problem exists (via recall) with 1996-1998 vehicles but will not fix 1999 vehicles. your web site exhibits numerous instance of this failure on 1999 vehicles. how do i go about getting a known problem with this failure to be acknowledged and fixed by chrysler? i consider this a serious safety issue that should be taken care of by chrysler regardless of auto mileage.*ak | |||

1999 plymouth grand voyager se - airbag light came on at 72000 miles. i found that daimler-chrysler had a safety recall on 1996-1998 plymouth vans because the clockspring was not installed properly in the steering column. causing the airbag to become inoperable, the horn and cruise control to also stop working. i found on a plymouth forum that many other 1999 van owners have had the same problems. when i called chrysler, they said the recall did not cover the 1999 van and that they would not extend the safety recall. *la |
