Six problems related to front air bag have been reported for the 2005 Chrysler Town & Country. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
The contact owns a 2005 Chrysler town and country. The contact stated that there was an electrical short in the air bag harness. He was concerned that the air bags would not operate correctly in the event of a crash. The dealer verified the failure and stated that the contact needed to replace the air bag harness at the cost of $400. The VIN was unknown. The failure and current mileages were less than 80,000.
2002-2006 Dodge caravan, Chrysler Town & Country, air bag failure through defective steering clockspring part. This is still an ongoing defect that inactivate the airbag system. I am actively involved in a auto repair forum and the total number of clockspring failures is extremely high. This is from normal usage, not from any person damaging it. Chrysler in the past year models has offered to repair them. But now refuses. I have replaced mine for $300+ collision catalog - 2005 - Chrysler - town and country restraint systems, air bag components, clockspring.
Recall complaint 07v192000 2005 town and country.
I was involved in a front end collision an the air bag failed to inflate on my 2005 Chrysler Mini van.
I have a Chrysler Town & Country lx 2005, unfortunately I had an accident, I received a lateral impact from a car that passed a red light and we were projected to the opposite corner where we finally stopped because we crashed against a pole that was over the sidewalk. My concern is that even though we had a frontal impact, air bags did not open (we broke the pole). The advertising from Chrysler says that minivans scored the 5 stars from NHTSA. I do not feel secure any more in that vehicle and I was wondering if there is a warranty against air bags failures; what can I do? I do not want that minivan anymore; I do not feel that my family could be safe in case of accident.
I was a front seat passenger in a 2005 Chrysler minivan which was a rental. We were in an accident in which there was significant front end damage. My seat belt did not lock on impact and I flew into the windshield. Also, my airbag deployed late as we were rolling to a stop, therefore my knee slammed into the dash. According to records, this model van has a recall,but it was not purchased until 6/05 well after the recall it appears. Please advise.
