Air Bag Light On problems of the 2012 Chrysler Town & Country

Replaced alternator two times within a year and now need a third. Started June 2018 while away on a trip, all lights on dashboard light up with no warning signs. Everything failed. , brakes barely worked to stop, no power steering, windows would not go up/down, no air, no flashes. . . . Etc. The second time July 2019, battery light comes on, then goes off. A day later had the battery replaced. Although the battery tested well according to the company, they placement due being under warranty. The following week, again the battery light comes on during highway speed and car begins the same issues as before. Car was towed to dealership. Dealership states it's the alternator once again. Here we are December 2019 with the same issues. . . . Not to mention the passenger airbag light never goes off as the dealer states it's nothing.

The air bag light stays on all the time when being driven. The Chrysler parts person says the problem is a defective clock-spring which renders the air bag inoperable. With a former Town & Country I owned they replaced the clock-spring as a safety recall even after 80k mi. Now though they tell me the defective clock- spring is not their problem but mine even though the air bag will not function because of it. The car currently has 60k mi. On it but the problem began way before this.

I recently purchased a used 2012 (09/11 production date) Chrysler town 7 country touring, van, it had 063,200. 0 miles when received. Purchased from a honest and reputable local used car dealer. (it was a new car trade in from a dealer 45 miles away) after driving the van for aprox. 300 miles the air bag light in the dash came on and would not reset or go out. The dealer tried to clear the code but could not. They determined that it was something related to the drivers seat. At their recommendation I took the van to the local Chrysler/Jeep/ram dealer to be checked. The dealer charged $95. 00 to check it and said that there is a short in the drivers head rest which is non-repairable and will cost $725. 00 (plus the $95. 00 charge) to replace the head rest. This safety system failure is not covered by the factory after the 36/36 is expired. I called the Chrysler factory information line and was again told that this safety system failure is not covered by Chrysler. In researching this issue I have seen that Chrysler has had at least 840,000 recalls involving head rests. How can I get Chrysler to repair this serious problem. The dealer and Chrysler said that the srs/air bags will not work if the light is on. This means I have no air bag function should I be involved in an accident. I am very concerned and feel that a serious safety system failure like this should be a factory covered repair for at least 150,000 miles. I have been denied the repair by Chrysler, regardless of the potential for serious injury or death if involved in an accident when the srs system will not work. I am a disabled veteran and need this van for transportation.
