On sept. 28, 2005 I took my 2001 Chrysler town and country ex model minivan VIN#2c4gp74l11r406254 to dick smith Chrysler in aiken, SC to correct a problem with the airbag system. The airbag light on the dash was lighting up erratically and I became concerned about the safe function of the airbag system. The service dept. Ran a diagnostic on the system and found a defective clock spring, which they replaced for $250. 45. Upon returning home I ran an internet search about the problem and found this exact problem led to a recall of the 1996-2000 models of the same minivan. I promptly contacted the Chrysler company, but they said that they would not do anything because my exact VIN number was not included in the previous recalls. In addition, the service dept. At dick smith Chrysler also said they would not honor the previous recall because it as of yet did not include my model year. I am filing this complaint because I believe Chrysler has not corrected the problem and my safety was placed at risk because of the malfunction in my vehicle. I did the responsible thing and had my vehicle repaired, but I was offered no compensation for the repair because the recall had not yet been extended to cover the 2001 year. What else can I do to insure this problem is addressed in a timely and safe manner?.
2001 Town & Country airbag light lights up intermittently. The dealer says a clockspring has failed not covered by the manufacturer.

This is a safety defect that should be covered by the manufacturer, aggravated by the fact that 1998-2000 vehicles, just before this model year, are covered by a recall for the exact same item.

Airbag indicator light comes on and off. This appears to be similar to the numerous other complaints with this same system in the 2001 Town & Country Mini van. The light might come on once or twice on a short trip, or it may not come on during a long trip. At times it will turn on and off many times during those same intervals. We are waiting for a recall before we proceed with any repairs. This needs to addressed by Chrysler in a service bulletin or a recall.
The air bag light comes on and stays on for 10 sec to 20 min with no particular driving pattern. . This means no air bag safety when it is on. It cleared during the cold winter but is back doing it, and doing some research I am not the only one having this problem. I am tired of Chrysler not addressing this problem. I found that my daughters 97 expresso and my sons 98 t&c had the same problem . Shouldn't Chrysler do a recall.
