Air Bag Light On problems of the 2002 Chrysler Town & Country

Air bag light is lit, was supposedly fixed but came back on and we were told that we would need to pay for repair. It is a 2002 town and country, 2001 and 2003 were recalled for same safety defect. Why is our year exempted, is Chrysler that inept to fix problems???.

Airbag light came on and doesn't go off. I took it to a regular repair shop and their computers can't analyze the problem, it has to be returned to a Chrysler dealership. Is this a safety hazard and is there a recall for this problem?.

My airbag light is on, it is a know problem in the Chrysler Town & Country however this year (2002) doesn't have a recall. I also have a 2005 Town & Country that is covered under the recall. I want my airbag problem covered under the recall, this is obviously a big problem and I no longer feel safe in my vehicle. The airbag could deploy or may not deploy because of this issue. Please contact me and tell me how I can have this safety issue resolved.

1) at low speeds, especially turning there was noise and shaking in the front of the Chrysler 2002 town and country. It was identified at a garage as a power steering cooler hose problem and in fact there was a recall for this. I then took it to a Chrysler dealer - doan in rochester NY - who agreed that was the problem, but my vehicle identification number was not on the list for replacement. I found it very hard to believe that the correct problem did not qualify. I called Chrysler customer service and got the same story. They said that the VIN numbers listed were determined by NHTSA and they - in so many words - were off the hook. I did have it replaced with my own money, but I am upset about it. 2) my air bag light started to go on telling me that the air bags were turned off. Then the light would go off for a little and come back on for no reason , speed, or outside temperature. Again I was told it was clock springing in the mechanism in the steering column. I felt that this was a very dangerous problem involving the life or death of my family should an accident occur. The dealer again agreed that this was the problem, encouraged me to get it fixed, and gave me an indication that this was common and that again my vehicle did not qualify for any recall. I had it fixed, but feel that this is a dangerous situation.

: the contact stated the airbag light illuminated, the vehicle was taken to two dealerships, where it was determined the clock spring needed to be replaced.

Airbag light and alarm tone comes on intermittently while driving, sometime remains on for more than 10 seconds then goes out and comes back on again after a few seconds. Recently at dealer for another unrelated repair and asked them to troubleshoot this, technician said it was an intermittent open in the clock spring (cs) and that there wasn't a recall. I had reported previous clock spring problem on my 1997 Dodge which was subsequently recalled and know what it looks like, but this time the cruise, and horn still worked. I purchased a new cs p/n 5082050ac and pulled the steering wheel myself to replace it. It appears to have fixed the problem. However, I noticed that the replacement cs was different than the original cs (which I kept). The defective original cs has the following numbers on it p/n 04685712ac and smaller *1 324101379r*. It also has a socket with copper clips where a connector split 4 wire harness connects to the cs with the two cables going to the airbag module. The replacement cs had no socket and had eliminated the connector and had two 2 wires harnesses hard wired to the cs. I disassembled the defective cs and checked it for breaks in the ribbon conductors there weren't any visible also the construction appeared to be much more durable possibly with braided copper laminate runs. Since it was intermittent I suspect that the problem is actually with the harness connector to the cs socket for the airbag connection, developing a loose or dirty contact connection. Perhap Chrysler already knows this and that is why the replacement has eliminated that point of failure. Please pursue a recall action on this for the socket connector type cs as this can cause airbag failure and possible death or injury. I am an engineer by trade and if they want the old part for testing they can contact me directly.

: the contact stated without warning, the airbag light illuminated. The dealership determined the light illuminating maybe due to a defective clock spring. The dealership ordered and will install a new clock spring.

Each year the air bag light comes on in my 2002 Chrysler Town & Country since the purchase date. Originally, dealer repaired at no charge. Dealer last replaced the clockspring in June 2004 at liccardi auto group in green brook, NJ for $135. 00. I am now in ohio and the light is on again. It appears there is now a recall on 2000 models for the same problem but when I called, the recall dept said it does not apply to my car. I am concerned that it may cause accidental deployment of the air bag.

The air bag light illuminated on and off intermittently for a period of time of 1-10 minutes. This al occurred while driving. Took vehicle to a dealer, who said there was a problem with the clock spring, and each time the light illuminated the air bags disengaged. Also s there was a recall up to the 2000 models but not consumer's vehicle model. Dealer replaced the clock spring and the issue was resolved. Consumer paid out of pocket for repairs.

2002 chrsyler town and country with airbag problems. Consumer states that the airbag light flickers and after it flickers it stays on. Consumer states that the airbags probably do not work due to this problem. The dealership has attempted to correct the air bag problem over 10 times.

The air bag light illuminated and the transmission shift lever shifted from drive to neutral while driving. There was an explosion while the vehicle was in motion. The engine light had come on, the transmission went into park, the gear shifter lever didn't move, the gas pedal worked fine but had frozen up in the park position. The air bag did not work and the seat belt didn't work.

I sadly own a 'Chrysler' town and country awd 2002 minivan with many electrical and mechanical problems that I'm forced to live with, but the following safety issues are intolerable. First, the intermittent air bag light, now on steadily. Second, the intermittent non-functioning horn, now does not work at all, cruise control does not work and radio buttons on steering wheel does not work. Chrysler corp denies major safety problem exists yet its a complaint that's all over the web among its many other persistent problems. Chrysler says its sounds like the problem may be in the "clock spring" in the steering column. I say its sounds like the problem may be in the care or lack of care of Chrysler on real safety issues on their products. Events that lead up to the failure are none, product is just simply defective and fails on its own. Consequences for this failure can be catastrophic, this is not rocket science, no horn and no air bag no brains! Chrysler needs to wake up and rectify this safety problem, many other owners have this problem and the government and or the media needs to "get involved before someone dies" if it hasn't "god forbid" already happened. I will be contacting the secretary of transportation and the media to see if a solution can be found rapidly.

Air bag light keeps on turning on. Vehicle has been taken to the dealership ten times to get it repaired. The vehicle has no current recalls for the air bags. . . . . . Requested extension of the safety recall for 1998-2000 model years to include consumer's model year 2002.

The power steering produced a grinding sound when turning to the left or the right. (power steering pump) three pumps had been installed in the vehicle,the rack and pinion was replaced once, the hoses had been replaced twice and the air bag light was a problem and was repaired.

2002 town and country air bag light illuminated intermittently. ***** each time the consumer went to the dealership, they replaced a different part in the airbag system and each time for several months everything would be fine and then the problem would resurface again.

We had our 2002 town and country to the dealer in johnson city TN a few years back for the same complaint (air bag light stays on). 2001 and I think 2003 were recalled for this problem but not 2002. This dealer too wanted us to foot the bill a third time. Said no. Did not know that they were not to sell a vehicle with the air bag light on.

Air bag light began coming on intermittently. Took vehicle to dealer, they replaced clock spring, light was out. Light began coming on intermittently again. Took vehicle back, was charged several hundred dollars for repairing a wire, light was out. Light began coming on intermittently again. Took vehicle back and was told they cannot fix it. Contacted Chrysler with no response. Over the years I have filed complaints with your office to no avail. Chrysler has had recalls for this model vehicle for years prior and years after but not this one. Why does no one care about this one. Not sure if there is a problem, if someone stole my airbag or if the government does not really care about safety??.

Consumer states that while driving at any speed the air bag light came on and the air bag could be inoperative in the event of a vehicle accident. Dealer notified. Ts.

Air bag light would intermittentlyand momentarily remain on while driving. Dealer notified. Feel free to provide any further information.

Airbag light keeps coming on while driving. Dealer keeps telling me it is fixed. Passenger slider keeps sticking when cold, it does not open by remote. Child seat belt has had to be replaced, and still does not latch well.

Air bag light illuminates without any cause. Dealer and manufacturer are aware of the problem, but there is currently no remedy. Problem still exsists.

2002 Chrysler Town & Country ex. Air bag light constantly on since two weeks after purchasing the new vehicle in 2002. Was taken into dealership for repair. Within 2 days, air bag light is back on. Several times later no solution. This problem is similar to a documented recall on previous model years of this vehicle. This has been over 5 years now and no solution. I believe Chrysler should have a recall for the 2002 year model for this ongoing problem.
