Description of the problem | I own a 1997 dodge caravan, with approx 139,000 miles on it. I just read in the birmingham news about the nhtsa investigating daimler-chrysler's 1998-1999 dodge caravans/chrysler town & countrys/plymouth voyagers. The article states the vans had a defect with the steering wheel/airbag. Mine is doing this exact thing. About a month ago, the airbag warning light came on, and the horn and cruise control quit working. Please include the 1997 model years in the investigation.*ak |
