1 Air Bag Light On problem

Failure Date: 08/28/2014

Driving to meet my husband. I was on a highway I got up to 60 mph. My van started losing the instrument panel. At first only a little bump (ding) then as I continue driving I lost the whole instrument panel intermittently and the wind shield wipers came on and sprayed wiper fluid and all lights would not work. When I got the panel back it would leave the air bag light on. It had no effect on the rest of the engine. I had something similar happen before and it was a dead battery. I went and had both battery and alternator tested they are fine. It has not happened again but it had happened at least every 2 weeks for 6 months with no answers. This is the first time it completely lost the instrument panel but not the first time it would lose 5 mph or so on the instrument panel and nothing to the engine. I am going crazy thinking my car is possessed! went to a non dealership repair shop and was told that since it was not doing it right now they can't tell anything.

2 Air Bag Light On problem

Failure Date: 09/03/2013

My air bag light came on and horn stopped working was told by dealer it was the clock springs but its not included in the recall.

3 Air Bag Light On problem

Failure Date: 12/07/2011

Problem began with airbag light illuminating intermittently when turning left and steering column noise occurred at the same time. Currently airbag light stays illuminated, with periodic steering column noise. This appears to be the same symptoms that resulted in a clockspring recall on minivans aged 1998-2000. Called dealer and was quoted $250-300 to repair. Seems this is a safety issue still and should be covered at no charge. Have also submitted complaint to daimler/Chrysler as well.

Airbag light has come on and remains on. Contacted manufacturer. They did not offer any assistance. I am sure this is a safety issue.
