Seven problems related to air bag not deploy have been reported for the 1999 Dodge Grand Caravan. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Vehicle was on the road about 50 mph when all of a sudden consumer lost control and hit the guard rail on the front left due to flat tire. Upon impact, air bags did not deploy.
We received a safety recall notice regarding a defective air bag clock spring assembly from the manufacturer. We contacted the closest service dealer to schedule an appointment. The dealer informed us because we have over 70,000 miles on our vehicle they would not perform the recall unless the airbag light is illuminated as mentioned in the recall notice. What we don't understand is why the notice says that if the vehicle has 70,000 or less miles to contact the dealer and have the clockspring replaced even if appears the clockspring is functioning properly. But if the vehicle has more than 70,000 miles to wait until the clockspring fails. Since the clockspring is a known defect. Who will be liable if the clockspring fails on our vehicle and we don't get it replaced in time before there is an accident and the airbag is not deployed resulting in increased injury to the driver in a frontal crash?.
While driving at 75 mph consumer struck a deer and the air bags did not deploy.
Vehicle was involved in a crash at approximately 70mph into the rear of another vehicle traveling at approximately 40mph in the same direction of travel. This would constitute the vehicle in question hitting at 30mph. Frontal air bags failed to deploy duing the event of a crash. Nothing has been done to correct the failure at this point.
My air bag light kept coming on and I was told by a dealer that my air bag would not deploy and my car would not pass inspection unless I got it fixed. Which I did and it cost $250. 00. My car is a 1999 Grand Caravan. There was a recall on this, but only up to year 1998. When I wrote to Dodge they told me there was nothing they could do, and my emails would not be acknowledged.
I had a collision with a deer at 40 mph and the car was severely damaged but the air bags never deployed. This incident has been reported to Dodge for investigation. Dt.
Reporting vehicle was involved in a frontail collision of a impact of 35-45 mph during braking, and both air bag did not deployed. Dealer/mfr's notified. Please provide any further details:.
