Consumer Description

DODGE NEON 2001 MY - 43,000 MILES. TODAY, WHILE MAKING A PARKING MANEUVER I SUDDENLY HEARD SEVERAL PLASTIC CLICK AND CRACK LIKE NOISES. I IMMEDIATELY THOUGHT OF THE CLOCK SPRING; MY FEARS WERE CONFIRMED FEW SECONDS LATER WHEN THE AIRBAG LIGHT TURNED ON MY CLUSTER. FINALLY, AFTER HEARING THE SAME KIND OF NOISE 3 OF 4 TIMES WHILE DRIVING THE LIGHT ENDED UP STAYING ON. IT BASICALLY MEANT THAT I HAVE NO AIRBAG AND I AM A LITTLE BIT WORRIED THAT IT MIGHT COME OFF UNEXPECTEDLY. THINK IT IS NOT NORMAL FOR SUCH A SAFETY COMPONENT TO FAIL IN SUCH WAY AFTER ONLY 43,000 MILES. I REALLY CAN'T THINK OF ANYTHING I COULD HAVE DONE THAT WOULD EXPLAIN THAT.*AK
