1 Warning Light On problem

Failure Date: 03/20/2016

Airbag warning light lit. Looked up on NHTSA website, Chrysler issued a"safety improvement campaign" copy enclosed. I took my van to the dealerto have it fixed plus a new key and a recall notice for a fuel/stalliny problem. I was informed that the airbag problem was not covered because of the VIN number. The van was purchased in mass. And I purchased it in rhode island. I donot think I should have to pay 216. 61 dollars to have this fixed. Thank you.

5 Warning Light On problem

Failure Date: 07/24/2010

I own a 2005 Dodge Caravan, that has 2 recalls for the front airbag sensor. One the covers the state I live in, massachusetts, and one that covers another 350,000 vehicles in those same states. My airbag warning light has been on for 2 1/2 years, the dealer told me that it would be a recall item, and to wait to have it fixed. That was the dealer in lowell, MA. Now my van has failed state inspection due to this reason, and Dodge said that my van isn't covered. The only criteria is that it be garaged in massachusetts, which it has been for the last 5 years. I need this recall to fix the problem, so I can drive my vehicle legally. It should be covered, and if I have a crash, I don't know if the sensor will deploy the airbags.

Failure Date: 02/06/2010

Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6) have a 2005 Dodge Caravan which I purchased from new. Approximately 2 months ago noticed that the airbag warning light came on. Tried to reset the computer by disconnecting the battery and reconnecting it after a while . This eliminated the warning light for a short period of time. Found out that there had been 2 recalls on these vans for a similar problem. Called both Dodge and the local dealer we purchased the Caravan from, after giving them the VIN number ([xxx]) they said this was not part of the recall. The recall describes exactly what has happened to my Caravan. Why is my Caravan not covered by the 2005/2006 recalls.

Now here almost 2 years later another recall is posted for the same sensor and my vehicle is still not part of the recall. The sensors still have not been replaced.

8 Warning Light On problem

Failure Date: 03/13/2007

My 2005 Dodge Caravan. Air bag warning light came on. Airbag is inoperable, but Chrysler cannot supply new sensors for at least a week, or more, according to local dealer. It's an industry-wide problem, they say, with many sensor failures. This means that many Chrysler owners are left to drive without operable airbags. . . Not a good situation. Chrysler should have been prepared for this.
