January 2005 after owning my 2005 town and country for only 6 months the air bag light came on. I took it to the dealership where I was told that the sensor was bad on the passenger side and I needed to leave my van at the dealership because it was unsafe to driver due to the fact that if I were to get into an accident the passenger airbag would not deploy. January 2, 2006, I just had to take the van back in for the same thing. This time I had to drive it all the way back from florida with the airbag light on. They had to replace both sensors this time. January 13,2006 I was on my way to chicago from my home in michigan and the air bag sensor is again coming on, less than 2 weeks after having it fixed! the other problem I have had with this van is the wiring the operates the power sliding doors. I have had to have the wiring assemblies replaced, once on each side.

My 2005 Chrysler town and country Mini van has repeatedly had its airbag light go on while operating vehicle. It has been in at least 6 or 7 times to date for repair and once they kept it for two weeks. They assured me the problem was fixed and again the light is on. I contacted Chrysler who advised it was a dealer issue and nothing was resolved. Now the vehicle has over 36,000 miles and the airbag light is on again and I am concerned that the unresolved repair will not be covered. The service manager from dealership also advised that airbag system will not work if light is on. This required equipment seems to be trouble prone.
