I rolled into the woman in front of me and my airbags deployed. There was no damage to either car except for the airbags. The driver airbag smacked me in the face and chest and thumb. I was only going about 3 mph because I had stopped and the woman in front of me had stopped and we were both going forward to merge into traffic at a really slow speed. I rolled into her and a second or two later the airbag deployed.
Malfunctioning clockspring in air bag.
We have a 2002 Dodge Grand Caravan, and the air-bag light goes on and stays on for awhile, then goes off. I called daimler-Chrysler and they gave me no satisfaction. It is not on the recall list. We also have a 2000 Chrysler grand voyager, and the light has never gone on, but it is on the recall list. There are numerous complaints about the 2002. This has been going on for the past two years.
Clock spring assembly wound incorrectly in air bag and the dealer refused to rectify this very important safety feature in the automobile. Therefore, I was charged nearly $200 to repair their failure to provide a safe car. The vehicles manufactured in the years 1995-2000 were all recalled for this safety failure, it seems they never addressed the problem because it is still continuing in my 2002 Dodge Grand Caravan.
My wife was driving the 2002 Dodge Grand Caravan sport down the street and turned right to go to work. All of a sudden both air bags deployed and shut the engine down. She didn't hit anything. They just deployed on there own. That was frightening, but just lucky she wasn't on the highway when it happened.
