Lights go out when the rain gets up under the car from splashing on the road. You have to pull over to the side of the road, turn it off and turn it back on several times and it stays on for a short time. Procedure is repeated again. Only in rainy weather and oregon gets a lot of sporadic rain. Also, the ignition tends to turn the airbag lights on and off whenever I turn a corner left or right of hit a bump.
I went in for my inspection sticker for my 2006 Dodge Grand Caravan, it failed due to the airbag light being on. There are known issues with the airbag sensor, but mines not covered under the recall, but its the same issue.
Car airbag light came on at about 68,000 miles once and then at 78,000 it came on and stays on all the time. This is my second 2006 Dodge Grand Caravan and that one did the same thing. Had to get rid of it because of rust at 192,000 miles. Whenever I start up and drive, it is constantly on now. Never goes out.
Every time it rains or I take my car to the car wash the airbag light comes on. After a day or two it goes off. I took it to a mechanic who told me that my van had stored codes for � no right front side impact sensor communication � and �right front impact sensor internal 1�. In researching this issue I discovered recall #10v008000 which covers 2005 and 2006 Grand Caravans and pretty much describes exactly what is happening to my van. However, when I contacted Dodge I was told that my particular VIN number is not covered under the current recall. I find it very strange that my van fits all of the parameters for the recall but is excluded.
The air bag light goes on and off periodically, both while driving and stopped, typically after a rain storm.
I was sitting at idle warming up my van and air bag light came on I tried clearing computer and light just came back on vehicle was stationary and has never been in an accident.
2006 Dodge Grand Caravan. Consumer writes in regards to vehicle supplemental air bag sensor, which caused the air bag light to illuminate. The consumer stated the vehicle fit all the model specifications specified in the Chrysler customer satisfaction notification j38. However, Chrysler has not and will not include his vehicle in the recall. Chrysler was unable to explain, why his vehicle was not included in the recall. The consumer stated he purchased and installed the parts.
To whom this may concern: I spoke with a Dodge customer service agent recently regarding an issue with my 2006 Dodge Grand Caravan, which I feel should be covered under Chrysler recall campaign j38 but, according to them, is not. The issue with my vehicle involves a cracked airbag sensor, which currently illuminates the airbag light and I suspect may not operate properly in a frontal crash. My local mechanic copied the recall notification for me and marked the information pertinent to my particular vehicle. He feels as though the necessary repairs to the airbag sensor should be covered under this recall campaign. According to the recall notification, ?2005-2006 Dodge Grand Caravans built from January 19, 2005 through April 5, 2006? and originally sold or currently registered in certain states (to include pennsylvania) are involved in this recall. The airbag light initially came on after driving through standing water, but would go off after a period of time. The light is now on constantly. Since my vehicle is currently registered in pennsylvania, one of the states listed on the recall notification, and was built in December 2005, I believe the repairs should be covered under this recall. Since I purchased my vehicle used with 13,000 miles on it, I do not know where it was originally sold or registered. Please contact me when you have reviewed this information and can give me your informed decision about the repairs to my vehicle and any concern you have about the safety of my vehicle. I appreciate your time and effort.
My 2006 Grand Caravan has had problems almost since I bought it in 2007 (it had 18,000 miles when I bought it). It now only has 68,000 miles on it.

When it rains my power steering goes out periodically (65,000 miles) . My engine light is on (haven't taken it in to check it yet) (66,000 miles) and now my airbag light is on (68,000 miles). Also I have replaced the battery and still have problems starting it. It clicks clicks clicks like a hundred times then eventually it starts.
On February 8, 2011 while driving in the rain my 2006 Dodge Grand Caravan airbag light came on. On February 14, 2011 I read online about NHTSA campaign id# 10v008000 and NHTSA action # rq09003 that stated this problem would be covered by Chrysler free of cost. On February 17,2011 I took the vehicle to Dodge for this to be fixed and they stated m VIN was not one of the vins covered by the safety campaign so I had to pay $225 to have the front airbag crash sensor and wiring leading up to the senor replaced.
I have 2 2006 Grand Caravans, both with about 80k miles. Both of the airbag lights came on at about the same time and they stay on.

Our air bag light comes on after repeated, exact turns of the steering wheel. Has to do with the steering wheel clock spring. It only illuminates in temps over 70 degrees or so. We live in the desert of arizona and have been excluded in previous recalls. We are afraid the air bags will not work properly in the event of a crash.
Airbag light indicating a system fault. 4/13/2010 dealer service dept, found failure of both front crash sensors and wiring connectors corroded. Both sensors and wiring needed replacement. Dealer advises they are not aware of any service bulletins or recall campaign for this problem.

I have a 2006 Dodge Grand Caravan sxt, red airbag light on the dash board and the dealer stated it was corroded terminals in connectors, needs right sensor and connector replaced. The vehicle has 38,706 miles on it. I see a new NHTSA action rq09003. The cost of fixing this was $114. 34 and I want it back.

2006 Dodge Grand Caravan sxt. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Airbag light on all the time. Had to the dealer four times. . . . . . . . Last time they said they replaced a part. Light came back on the next day and has been on ever since. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Several months ago. Am taking my grandchildren on a 2,000 trip June 1st and want it fixed by then, but looks like the recall won't even go out until June. From what I have read they have known about and were "investigating" this problem for several years. I have not had an accident, but if I do . . . . . . . . . . I want the airbag to work properly!!!.
The 2006 Dodge Grand Caravan has 33,000 miles on it and had an airbag light come on. Thought the vehicle was still under warranty so brought it to a dealer for repair. The dealer said that the impact sensors had corroded and needed to be replaced. The vehicle's warranty had expired in November of 08. I felt that it was unusual for the sensors to go bad with so few miles that I started to inquire about it. I discovered NHTSA investigation number ea06003 and subsequent recall number 07v-192. These were not mentioned during the visit. I then had my fiance contact Chrysler's customer service to report this and get the van fixed. When they were asked to fix the van they stated that they would not cover costs. I feel that the recall / problem poses a serious safety risk since the airbags are not functioning. It seems to me that the recall involves more vehicle than Chrysler is owning up to, or they are not conforming to the original agreement in the action report mentioned above.
