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.

The airbag warning light is illuminated due to a malfunctioning clockspring. This disables the airbag system. This was recalled on earlier model Caravans but has not been completed on 2001 and newer models which have the same issue. The light has been illuminated since vehicle purchase and has had inactive airbags. Recently, while turning the steering wheel hard during a power steering reservoir replacement, the air bag light began to turn on and off clearly due to shorted wiring at the clockspring terminals.

I bought a 2006 Dodge Caravan in 2009. It had 20,000 at that time. Shortly after purchase we drove the van approximately 100 miles. It began making roaring noises so I pulled over and stopped. After sitting for about 20 minutes, I started the car again and there was no noise. Every time I traveled for over 45 minutes, this would happen. I took the car to be looked at several times but no one could find a problem. Finally in January of this year the car started making this noise all of the time and my son-in-law, who is a mechanic, said that it needed power steering fluid. That fixed the problem for awhile. In March, I took my car in and was told that the rack and pinion needs to be replaced! very expensive! the car is now only making noise when I go through standing water. Also, the airbag warning light illuminates at intervals. It seems that a lot of people are having these same complaints. I think that Dodge needs to do some recalls and some repairs!.

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.

Horn stopped working. Horn fuse is good. Air bag warning light came on and has stayed on.

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.

We own a 2001 Dodge Caravan. The air bag warning light alerted us to a problem. The dealer diagnosed the problem as a failure of the clockspring. A recall was recently issued for clockspring failures on the 1999 and 2000 Caravans. The dealer, for a cost of $255. 48, replaced the part. Apparently the problem was not resolved on the 2001 models.
