CHRYSLER DESIGNED THE POWER DISTRIBUTION BLOCK COVER TO HOLD WATER AND RETAIN MOISTURE. THIS CAUSES THE CONNECTIONS TO CORRODE AND FAIL LEADING TO FAILURE OF CRITICAL, ELECTRICALLY-OPERATED, SAFETY SYSTEMS INCLUDING THE AIRBAG SAFETY RESTRAINT SYSTEM AND THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM. CHRYSLER HAS BEEN AWARE OF THE ERROR AND REDESIGNED THE POWER DISTRIBUTION BOX. HOWEVER, THEY DID NOT RECALL AND OFFER TO REPLACE THE FAILED COMPONENT.

WE OWN A 1998 PLYMOUTH GRAND VOYAGER. WE HAD RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE REGARDING THE FRONT AIR BAG (CLOCKSPRING ASSEMBLY). THIS NOTICE WAS FOR VEHICLES WITH 70,000 MILES OR LESS (FREE REPAIR). OUR VEHICLE HAS 75,000+ MILES AND YESTERDAY OUR AIR BAG LIGHT IS STAYING ON... I DO NOT THINK THAT IT IS RESPONSIBILE FOR DIAMLER CHRYSLER TO SET MILAGE LIMITS FOR REPAIRS. WE HAVE A LARGE FAMILY AND US OUR VAN ALOT... DIAMLER CHRYSLER SHOULD NOT BE ALOUD TO SET MILAGE LIMITS. BECAUSE OF THIS DECISION, I WILL NOT PURCHASE ANOTHER DIAMLER CHRYSLER PRODUCT. THANK YOU.

EARLY FALL SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT ON. DEALER CHARGED SEVERAL HUNDRED DOLLARS TO FIX. SOON AFTER AIR BAG LITE CAME ON WHILE DRIVING BUT OFTEN WENT OFF OR FLICKERED. BELIEVED IT WAS LOOSE WIRE OR FUSE, CAUSED BY DEALER FIXING PREVIOUS PROBLEM. SO DID NOT BELIEVE IT WAS URGENT. HOWEVER NOW CRUISE CONTROL DOES NOT WORK EITHER. BECAME ALARMED THAT PROBLEMS WERE CONNECTED AND AIR BAG MAY NOT BE FUNCTIONING, AND THAT THIS PROBLEM MAY BE DANGEROUS. WENT TO NHTSA SITE AND WAS SHOCKED TO SEE RECALL NOTICE POSTED FOR AIR BAG LITE/NO CRUISE CONTROL CLOCK SPRING PROBLEM. I AM CONCERNED BECAUSE MY VEHICLE HAS MORE THAN 70,000 MILES ON IT BUT IT WAS MANUFACTURED IN 2/98, WITHIN THE RECALL PARAMETERS PLEASE ADVISE. I WILL BE CONTACTING MY DEALER AS WELL. THANK YOU FOR YOUR OVERSIGHT OF THIS PROBLEM. DT
