4 Air Bag Light On problem of the 2015 Dodge Caravan

Failure Date: 01/01/2019

While driving airbag light came on with interior lights flicking on/off while driving on every occasion for last 1-2 months. Also while driving would say right rear sliding door was open with lights on while driving. Air bag light has since gone off and came back on/off but interior lights remain on at times while driving. Sometimes rear sliding door sounds like it's trying to latch. Local garage unable to find anything wrong it. I believe there is a electrical shortage that started with airbags and from reading there is a takata recall on other vehicles causing a circuit shortage like this.

Failure Date: 02/03/2015

Why are not all the 2005 Dodge Caravans not covered on the recall for the sensors that cause the air bag light to come on. It should not just cover the states that they figure that salt is used. It is used here in abundance because of cost and close vicinity of salt lake. If your VIN number doesn't come up they won't cover it but it is a safety item and I fell it should be covered for the life of the vehicle and should not be dismissed by location.

30 Air Bag Light On problem of the 2002 Dodge Caravan

Failure Date: 07/29/2010

I have a 2002 Dodge Caravan and the airbag light just came on on my dash. My mechanic scanned the code and got "passenger squib #1 circuit open". He tells me that I need a whole new wiring harness or a whole new airbag but that the problem is a connector that used to be available from Chrysler but is not any more. This seems crazy. I want the problem fixed as I don't have a passenger side airbag right now but it seems that Chrysler should supply the connector or fix the problem on a recall.

31 Air Bag Light On problem of the 2005 Dodge Caravan

Failure Date: 12/29/2009

We purchased our 2005 Dodge grand Caravan new and the airbag light just started coming on and off this winter (2009-2010). Now the airbag light stays on all of the time. I took it to an independent shop to have them run the diagnostics on the light. The code came back as a bad lf airbag sensor and from there I started searching on the internet. I found that there was a major recall on 312,442 Dodge Caravans for this exact problem (corrosion on sensor). I called Dodge to find out if our van was included in the recall. They informed me that it was not included in the recall and basically said I was out of luck but to save my receipts for the repair in case it was to ever be included in the recall. As of now I have not replaced the sensor because I feel this is a known safety problem and should be taken care of by Dodge. As of now our airbags are not operating at all because the repair is quite costly and I am frustrated to think that Dodge knows they are putting lives in danger but obviously only recalled a limited number of units.

34 Air Bag Light On problem of the 2007 Dodge Caravan

Failure Date: 08/12/2009

The airbag light turns on at the beginning when a child or a light load is in the passenger's seat. It then turns off once I start going. I don't know if that means that it is on or off and am concerned. Secondly, I recently had to repair the runner on the drivers side back sliding door. The wire that went through the middle of it was in jeopardy of getting damaged if I didn't. I had to pay $350 to get this repaired. It looks like I'll have to be repairing the passenger's side in the future as it is showing signs of deterioration.
