I recently took my car in for an inspection sticker, but it failed due to the air bag sensor light being on. I looked under the recalls and their is a recall for this issue for the year and make of my car, but when I search the VIN number it claims that my care is not included in the recall. Can this be looked into so that my care cam be included and I can get the issues fixed. I had my inspection done on 3/2/18.

3 Front Air Bag Sensor Control problem

Failure Date: 12/11/2010

Back rear window imploded for the second time(first time 2009, second time 2010), nobody seems to have an answer for why this happens other than it was cold and snowy outside so the weather must have caused this to occur, (that is what they say) my family was in the van in the driveway getting ready to leave so I know for a fact that "nothing" went thru the window just a major defect of Dodge. Numerous issues with this van starting when van had 5000 miles, air bag sensor on, sliding doors do not work properly, loud sound from engine, tie rods need replaced for third time, control arm broke, locks make a whiny sound, check service engine light on told 3 times that we needed new spark plugs . Really at 30,000 miles. We changed them, light still on today. After an inspection of van now dealer sates that the alternator, water pump, sertine belt, egv valve, valve gasket, all needs replaced and the light on had nothing to do with spark plugs, go figure. I have sent dealership and Chrysler letters in regards to my safety concerns. This would be my fourth time calling chyrsler about major issues. They lack customer service and nothing ever done. We purchased new and van is now 5 years old with same and new problems since 5000 miles, now has 77,000. I will not be purchaseing a Dodge van again!!.

10 Front Air Bag Sensor Control problem

Failure Date: 01/01/2008

Front passenger seat weight sensor. The passenger airbag off light, which lights up during car start-up sequence, does not light when seat is empty. Brought into royal gate Dodge, ballwin mo for service. Was told by the service manager the light did not illuminate by design and that it would only illuminate when there was weight (approx 10lbs - 40lbs) in the seat. No parts were replaced, no action taken by dealer to correct situation, no sensor check was accomplished. The defective sensor, which indicates there is sufficient weight in the seat to fire airbag, can cause serious consequences including the death. At the very least the bag would fire unnecessarily causing extensive repair costs to replace the bag and dash (likely a desirable result for the dealer). More importantly, if a smaller person or child is sitting in seat, serious injury could result. Specific date reported can be obtained from dealer. Date below very approximate.

Approximately 24 inch intrusion into middle of the front of the car by passenger side fender area of car that caused collusion. Damage to car will require complete replacement of existing air bag sensors.
