I just posted info on the airbag, horn and cruise control failure. I have the government website that has info on an ongoing investigation on this problem. According to the information that is given, the recall included 1998.5 year minivans, and maybe 1999, but sometimes I have heard that the .5 could include early model 1999. There are many people with this issue. Chrysler might just fix the problem. Your 1999 might be under the recall, just call Chrysler corporate or just take this page in to the dealer. That might keep them from double dipping. Here is the website. http://www-odi.nhtsa.dot.gov/cars/problems/defect/defectsearch.cfm Actually only way to find info is to search and then check show full summary output on the search summary page box. This will bring up the clock spring info.

the clock spring is the most common problem when all three things are affected. I had the same problem and found out that chrysler had a life time warranty on them. Just call your local chrysler dealer with your serial number and they will conferm it.

I also have a 99 Plymouth Grand Voyager, I am having the same problems as listed above.. Airbag light on, Horn and cruise not working... definitely sounds like the clock spring... My problem is the dealership says, my particular Vin # was not affected by the recall.... any suggestions how to get around this?? Dealer says only 1996 to 1998 years are recalled - but apparently the problem still exists. They only cover to 36K miles under dealer warranty - I have 69K. Dealer wants $250.00 to fix PLUS $167 for DIAGNOSTICS. I asked why diagnostics on the computer when I already know what is wrong. Any way to get Chrysler to fix it? The RECALL needs expanding!!!!

99 Plymouth Voyager, I am having the same problem with my air bag, horn and cruise. We contacted our local dealers several times and they say it is not a recall. Everyone please call the customer service for Plymouth and report the error @ 1-800-992-1997 or the recall department @ 1-800-853-1403. Maybe we can get them to recall it. What happens if we have an accident and our air bags don't work?

We have a 1997 voyager, and also have had these problems with one more. The dash lights have gone out and our local dodge dealer have told us they have no recordings of this complaint. Anybody out there who have had similar problems? Please help if you know exactly what this problem is. We have a fear of electrical fires with this vehicle.

I have a 1999 Plymouth Grand Voyager and just got the clock spring fixed today, for free, as it was covered by the recall.I am also having problems with the cruise control not working, and the brake light staying on. The dealer told me they have nothing to do with the clock spring, but I am wondering about the truth regarding this.Any thoughts?

I also have a 1999 plymouth voyager with 81K miles and there is no way I can afford to pay like $300 but it is dangerous to drive without a horn. Has anyone been able to make Chrysler pay for a 199 with that many miles on it???email me at kittypurr65@msn.com

I know three 3 different People. What do they have in common? They all had nothing but trouble on the Plymouth Voyager/Dodge Caravan, and also have heard bad reviews from others. Chrysler made cars are good, don't get me wrong. But the Caravan, I will never buy.

Yes, it is the clock spring. I lost my cruise and horn, but I chose not to spend the 350 as the car was rotted out and worn out. I also lost my radio (different cause) but I got almost 190,000 miles on the car!

Lots of questions, few answers. I have a 99 voyager with belt problems. I have replaced the belt three times in less than two years. some say it's the tensioner, some say the pully, others say it's the ice and slush compacting around the belt causing it to slip off the track. Anyone else have this problem?

my 97 voyager has the same problem with more.the ac is out the heater is out the cruise control the air bag the lights that control the ac, heater ,rear wipers and radio are blinking constantly and now water is pouring out faster than I can put it in and I cant see where it is coming out. Maybe I should give it to the wild boys to destroy in some fantastic display.But I just bought it from a so called reputable dealer in Yuma Arizona and I still have a year to pay.

I have a question about the 1999 voyager. I am having problems with the rusting of the housing that holds the struts It is time for me to replace my struts and I am told that the housing unit for the struts is rusting out and they don't know if it will be cost effective to try and replace the housing unit. but I need new struts and the ride is getting very bad. Have anyone experienced this problem?
