AIRBAG CLOCK SPRING DEFECT! HOW MANY COMPLAINTS NEED TO FILED BEFORE NHTSA RESPONDS TO A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AND INVESTIGATES THIS FOR A POSSIBLE RECALL? ACCORDING TO THEIR GUIDE LINES, THERE IS NO SPECIFIC NUMBER. MAYBE THEY SHOULD CONSIDER ALL OTHER VEHICLES MANUFACTURED BY CHRYSLER IN 2001, IN THE SAME GROUP SIZE BUT DIFFERENT MODELS, I.E. INTREPID, CONCORDE ETC. AND THIS DOESN'T INCLUDE CARS THAT PEOPLE HAD FIXED AND OR, CARS NO LONGER IN SERVICE WHO'S OWNERS ARE NOT AWARE THAT IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE IT'S OUT OF WARRANTY. WHY ARE ALL OF THE OTHER YEAR AND MODEL CARS FROM 1998 TO PRESENT BEING RECALLED, EXCEPT FOR THE 2001 LHS??? WHY IS CHRYSLER CHARGING 3X'S AS MUCH MORE FOR THIS CLOCK SPRING AS COMPARED TO ALL THE OTHERS THAT ARE ALMOST IDENTICAL. THERE CAN'T BE THAT MUCH DIFFERENCE!!! MAYBE I SHOULD GO ON SOCIAL MEDIA AND LAUNCH MY OWN CAMPAIGN TO SEE HOW MANY OTHER PEOPLE HAVE THIS ISSUE AND ARE NOT AWARE OF THIS PROCESS. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR ME SINCE 2012. CONTACTED CHRYSLER NUMEROUS TIMES ABOUT THIS ISSUE! *TR

I BOUGHT THE CAR IN 2005 AND RECENTLY THE AIRBAG LIGHT HAS COME ON AND REMAINS ON AND I CANNOT GET MY HORN TO WORK. I ALSO SMELL GAS IN THE WINTER WHEN STARTING THE CAR (HAVE BEEN TO SEVERAL PLACES TO FIND A LEAK). VISIBILITY WIPERS ARE NOT WORKING PROPERLY.
