Air Bag Not Deploy problems of the 2005 Dodge Grand Caravan

Stopped at the traffic light and proceeded through the intersection. The vehicle was in motion and suddenly accelerated. Tried to slow the vehicle down using the brake pedal which would not engage or press down. Car continued to accelerate faster. Continued to try to break the car and slow down. Brakes did not respond. Tried to change the gear to neutral or park. Car kept accelerating. Pulled off the road into the curb and through a fence. As the car was approaching the building at high speed. Turned the car off and it continued into a concrete block commercial building and bounced back about 15-20 feet and stopped at that point. Front-end damage to the car. Knocked concrete block wall and door down. Blessed to be alive. Car was totaled. Also, the air bag did not deploy. Police said that the throttle must have been stuck open.

The contact owns a 2005 Dodge Grand Caravan. The contact stated that while driving approximately 50 mph, he lost control of the vehicle in an attempt to avoid a road animal. The contact crashed forcefully into the side of a ditch, went airborne and then crashed into a tree. The air bags failed to deploy with the impact. The contact sustained injuries to the head, wrist and hand. A police report was filed. The vehicle was destroyed and towed to a collision center. The manufacturer was notified of the problem. The approximate failure mileage was 146,500.

Apparently a faulty airbag sensor light means that possibly airbags may not deploy in a collision or accident. I have contacted the dealer from where I purchased the vehicle and also check for recalls via the internet and according to the VIN # , it is not listed, but over 300,000 2005 Grand Caravans have. Why not mine?.

I was involved in a major front end head on coliision and my airbags failed to deploy. My husband was a passenger and hit the windsheild. I was told by the garage where it was towed to that if my airbags had deployed they would have totaled my van out due to the extensive damage to the front end. I am very angry at Dodge! why have airbags if they don't work and fail to go off. Thankfully my husband wasn't killed. He is injured pretty bad though. Bad job Dodge! you should be ashamed to put your customers lives at risk!!!!!.

2005 Dodge Grand Caravan, known issue, airbags failure to deploy. They have known about this issue for a few years and are only now doing the recall. My husband was in a front end collision at over 40mph, lots of damage, and the airbags did not deploy. I've confirmed with Chrysler that my model was one of the vins listed in the recall.

Nhtsa action number : pe05061 July 11, 2008 my mother and I were in a crash involving the front passenger side of the vehicle. The impact did about $5,000 worth of damage yet the airbags did not deploy. I am concerned it has to do with this investigation into defective sensors. How can I be sure my vehicle is safe?.

My 2005 Dodge Grand Caravan I believe has a defect in the clock spring. I received a letter stating there has been an extended warranty for the front air-bag sensor control module. Two weeks after I received this letter the air-bag light came on. After approximately 3 weeks after the light came on the horn stopped working along with all the other steering wheel components (cruise control, radio control). I took my van to the dealership to get it fixed under the extended warranty , they told me there was nothing they could do because the clock spring in the steering wheel had corroded and broke and that is what is causing this defect. My van's mileage just turned 70,000. I use my van to transport my 3 kids in and feel this is a safety hazard that needs to be fixed right away. Not only do the steering wheel components not work but the driver airbag is disabled as well due to this malfunction. Due to this defect there needs to be a recall issued as soon as possible before an accident occurs and the airbag does not deploy. There has been a recall on the clock spring for the make and model of my van for years 96-98 and feel this is the same thing that is happening to my 05 van. Please help before anyone gets hurt.

The contact owns a 2005 Dodge Grand Caravan. The contact was involved in a crash while driving 50 mph. The contact was rear ended and caused the vehicle to rear end the proceeding vehicle. This caused both the rear and front end of the vehicle to be completely destroyed. The air bags failed to deploy. The contact's child was injured and property damage incurred. The current and failure mileages were 24,930.

The airbag light is on due to a corroded sensor. The left sensor failed while under warranty and was replaced by Chrysler. The right sensor went out at 40k and is currently being repaired. It seems like these sensors are prone to failure, and I have much concern that that the airbags might not be deployed when in an accident.

I wrecked my 2005 Dodge Grand Caravan into a hill side and struck a telephone pole hard enough to break the pole in two. My air bag system did not deploy. I did over $6000. 00 worth of damage to my van but no air bags. I have had the van serviced twice in the past for the air bag senor light coming on. I am worried that the air bag system is faulty.

: the contact stated while traveling 50 mph, the vehicle was involved in a head on collision, and the airbags did not deploy. 5 occupants sustained injuries, and a police report was taken. The airbag warning light was not illuminated prior to the incident. The vehicle had not been to a service dealer and was taken to a storage yard. (lawyer on behalf of his client) updated 01/09/07.
