| 2004 | AIR BAGS:FRONTAL:SENSOR/CONTROL MODULE | DT*: THE CONSUMER STATED THE CHECK ENGINE AND AIR BAG LIGHTS ILLUMINATED AND THE ENGINE STALLED. AFTER STALLING, THE ENGINE GAVE OFF A BURNING ODOR THROUGHOUT THE VEHICLE. THE CONSUMER HAD TO WAIT 5-10 MINUTES BEFORE TRYING TO RESTART THE ENGINE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND THE AIR BAG SENSOR WAS REPLACED, HOWEVER THE PROBLEM STILL PERSISTS. *JB |
| 2003 | EQUIPMENT | THE HORN, CRUISE CONTROL, RADIO CONTROLS ON THE STEERING WHEEL STOPPED WORKING. ALSO THE RED "AIR BAG" LIGHT ON THE DASH IS LUMINATED. I'VE DONE SOME RESEARCH ON THE SYMPTOMS AND IT APPEARS TO BE A BROKEN CLOCK SPRING. CHRYSLER HAS HAD NUMEROUS RECALLS AND COMPLAINTS FOR THIS PROBLEM ON THEIR VEHICLES. IT APPEARS THAT THEY NOW HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE CHRYSLER 300M. IT IS ILLEGAL TO DRIVE WITHOUT A HORN THAT WORKS AND I HAVE TO ASSUME THAT BECAUSE THE AIR BAG LIGHT IS ON THAT IT IS NOT WORKING EITHER. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. *TR |
