Airbag light illuminated. . . . There is a recall affecting 2005 - 2006 Dodge Grand Caravan / town and country airbags its saying my VIN has 0 recalls this is false data.

My air bag light is on and I don't know if the sensors were recalled on my van.
In 2013, the airbag sensor light came on as I was driving. I went to the dealership and was told it was the seat belt tensioner, which they replaced. Two years later, the airbag light came on again as I was driving and I took it to a local garage. I was told it was the seat belt tensioner again and they replaced it. The airbag light came on again in 2016 and they cleaned it out. On March 4, 2017, the airbag light came on again and I was told it was the seat belt tensioner again. As of March 5th, the light no longer comes on. I know there was a recall on the 2005 Dodge Grand Caravan on the front crash sensor in 2010 (ntsa campaign id 10v008000). I was told previously that my VIN number was affected. However, I'm beginning to wonder if that's not the case.

Recently found the air bag light come on. The problem persisted after the clock spring was replaced. The problem was traced to front airbag impact sensors and sub wiring harnesses. I found many complaints and recalls based on the year and state the vehicle is in. My car was originally sold in virginia and I bought it used in nc. If the car was still in virginia, it would have been covered under the August 2007 recall. The recall should be expanded to read "any vehicle purchased in theses states xxxx is subject to this recall".

Air bag light comes on. This is the same issue covered by NHTSA campaign id number : 04v480000 NHTSA action number: ea04013. But my vehicle was manufactured after the end of the recall. The dealer diagnosed the problem as exactly what the recall issue is. There doesn't seem to be any resolution to this issue on newer models as I have seen similar complaints on other websites about the same issue by other Dodge & Chrysler owners.
I have a 2005 Dodge Grand Caravan. The air bag light started coming on when I was driving. I received a letter from Chrysler indicating that the front airbag sensors may crack and they will be covered under a lifetime warranty. However when I took the car to a dealer they said the clockspring mechanism was bad and not covered by the warranty and it would cost $250 dollars to replace. In addition I had to pay $85. 00 for the diagnosis which was recommended by Chrysler. I am convinced that my sensors are defective.
Air bag light comes on. This is the same issue covered by recall campaign 07v192000 NHTSA action ea06003 but my vehicle was manufactured 4 months passed the end of the recall. The dealer diagnosed the problem as exactly what the recall issue is.
Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6) driving in snow to work one morning, there came a squeal (alternator) then lights on dashboard on. After I made it to the highway which is plowed. The airbag light never came off. Took it in for repair and it was the passenger air bag. This year the same thing happened, the squeal and after a trip to repair a evg sensor the dealership informed me that I now have the driver's side and passenger side air bag sensors are corroded. I do have an extended warranty which does not cover this "environmental issue" and a complaint to Dodge's 800# [xxx] declared it also an "environmental" issue not covered! [xxx] said that I should contact the road commission as they are the ones that put the salt on the road. I have not correct the problems as I don't believe it is an expense that I should pay for. I bought the van in 2005 with an extended warranty that was to cover all. I did some research on Chrysler's past recalls on airbag sensor and believe that there is an issue with their products and the way they are installed.
My 2005 Grand Caravan had the air bag indicator illuminated. The dealership replaced the 2 front sensors, explaining the problem was due to corrosion (same as NHTSA action number pe05061). He said that although this was the same problem as with the recall, that my vehicle was not a covered vehicle. Note this is a high road salt usage area. After reading through some of the complaints on this vehicle, especially those where there were injuries due to non-air bag deployment, I worry for the safety of my family. It makes me wonder if the manufacturer cares if people are injured due to safety feature malfunctions.
Normal driving, vehicle has been involved in no accidents. At about 34,000 miles on vehicle, and 3 and a half years old, airbag light on dash started illuminating. Would turn off sometimes, but usually stayed on. Dealer diagnosed failure of "clockspring" in steering column, which had to be replaced at cost of about $250. 00.
2005 Dodge Grand Caravan mfg 6-05 the air bag light was on and the dealer said it was the front right sensor. I replaced the part and found the pin on the sensor was completely corroded off on the purple wire. I bought the connector kit to replace the plug to the sensor. When I stripped the white wire the wire is also corroded. It is black and tarnished. I checked back to 8 inches and could not find clean copper. I know that the senor was in a recall up to Feb. 08, but I think there may be other issues involved in the failures. I still have the senor and connector.
2005 Dodge Grand Caravan sxt front passenger airbag and the airbag light.
The first indication of a problem was the airbag light on the dash remaining on occasionally after the vehicle was started. The problem then progressed to the airbag light remaining on continuously and the cruise control function and horn (both of which are mounted on the steering wheel) not working. These symptoms were identical to those experienced by earlier years of this vehicle model that resulted in a safety recall for replacement of the clock spring in the steering wheel. I had the clock spring replaced, which corrected the problems.
The air bag light was on. I had recent recall repairs on the air bag sensors completed and it did not resolve the problem. The air bag system currently will not operate. The recall should have been more extensive to take care of the problem.
Airbag light malfunction. At dealership, told likely bad wire, and this has been a frequent problem with this model.
