Seven problems related to warning light on have been reported for the 2002 Chrysler Town & Country. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Airbag warning light remains on at all times after starting vehicle and the steering wheel mounted cruise controls does not operate.
Since airbag warning light remains on at all times when vehicle starts up even while driving, the steering wheel horn does not operate at any time and the steering wheel mounted radio controls does not operate.
Air bag warning light comes on and goes off intermittently. Sometimes stays on for weeks, then goes off for months, then comes back on.
While driving, the air bag warning light continuously illuminated on the dashboard. As a result, the air bags became inoperative and probably would not deploy when needed. The dealership replaced the clock spring at the consumer's expense. The air bag light was intermittent depending on the position of the steering wheel. The steering column had been previously repaired.
Airbag warning light illuminated. Consumer suspected it may have been related to recall notice 02v293000 concerning clockspring failure. The light illuminate when the vehicle was cold and when the steering wheel was turned.
When driving at any speed, the air bag warning light appeared intermittently. Consumer contacted the dealer.
Air bag system warning light. 6 miles after we bought vehicle warning light came on and took to dealer and faulty item was replaced. Since then the warning light has come on a total of 6 times. Each time the van was took in to get fixed. By the time the 5th warning light came on(July 15) we were told the module was putting out false signals. In one instance we were driving our van for a week with the light on waiting for the replacement part and was told the van was perfectly safe to drive. The sixth time we took it in(July 30, milage only at 3499) the warning light was going on and off every few seconds and was told that the wiring was corrosive and they could put a temp fix on it by cleaning/spraying wiring that would last up to 3/5 months. I was not happy with that due to safety issues. They also told us that if the air bag light was on the airbags would not work properly. Which upset us due to the time we were driving the van for a week with light on due to them saying it would be safe. We contacted diamler Chrysler July 15th and filed a complaint. Two weeks after last visit (30 July) contacted dealer to see if solution to problem was fould yet because was uncomfortable with temp fix. Now they will be doing a complete rewiring on 21 August. Hoping this will be the last and final time I have to take it in for the same problem. Due to safety issues of air bags and the safety of my family, I wanted to inform you of the problems going on with our van. And to find out any important information regarding air bag warning light problems currently happening. Thank you.
