THE CLOCK SPRING IS BROKEN. CHRYSLER DOESN'T HAVE THE PART AND CLAIM IT IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE. I THINK ANYTHING INVOLVING THE INFLATION OF THE AIRBAG IS A SAFETY ISSUE.

UNDER NORMAL DRIVING THE ESP/BAS, AND TRACTION CONTROL WARNING LIGHTS CHIME AND ILLUMINATE. CHRYSLER DEALER HAS DIAGNOSED THAT THERE IS A SHORT IN THE CLOCKSPRING, AND ADVISED ME THAT THE VEHICLE IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AS I COULD LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE, AND/OR THE AIR BAGS MAY NOT DEPLOY IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT. I HAD CLOCKSPRING REPLACED, AND YES I DO HAVE THE OLD PART THAT IS DEFECTIVE.
