Description of the problem | The airbag light came on and never went out. The horn didnt work, cruise control didnt work, and dealer said the airbag would deploy while driving. I have 2 caravans and the other is a '96 and that one was diagnosed at the dealer for 35 dollars and they told me it needed a new airbag and a clockspring for over $1,000 dollars. Later finding out they lied saying it need the whole airbag in reality it only needed the clockspring, i replace the clockspring on both my vans. The dealer wanted 250 dollars a peice to install it. This is a safety issue. The horn doesnt work and the airbag could deploy at anytime. Mr |
