Warning Light On Problems of Dodge Grand Caravan - part 2

On April 18, 2014, consumer made an appointment at lithia Dodge in kennewick washington with the sole purpose to check to see if the air bag warning light on their 2005 Dodge Grand Caravan being on constantly was covered under the NHTSA recall 10v008000 "front airbag crash sensor failure". When consumer arrived for the appointment on April 21, 2014, the dealership indicated without looking at the vehicle or checking the VIN that the van may or may not be covered under the recall. They just didn't know. They could do a diagnostic on the vehicle, though: if the vehicle was covered under recall, the visit would be free. If the vehicle wasn't under recall, they would charge a $125 "diagnostic fee" to tell the consumer that it wasn't under recall. The vehicle was not inspected or repaired.

Driver side air bag warning light continually comes on for long and short periods of time. Most cases it stays on even after placing on seat belt. I believe the driver side air bag system is defective. This was on a previous recall a few years ago and corrected by the Dodge dealership. However, this warning light continues to stay on for five minutes or more and than goes out.

In April of 2013, the air bag warning light illuminated on the dashboard. Took it to the dealer to check. Found that the right sensor was not working properly and that there were "broken wires. " repaired the wiring and said that all was okay. I was charged over $220 for this repair. There was a 2007 recall for this issue and my car supposedly had the front sensors replaced at that time. Then, in June of 2014, the same air bag warning light appeared again. This time I researched recalls and found out that there was another recall in 2010 for this same issue. After contacting Chrysler services, I was told to go back to the dealer and they would perform the repair/replacement at no cost. After they performed the work, which they said again was a broken wire, I was charged another $200. They stated that it had nothing to do with sensor, just the wiring, and therefore was not covered by the recall. Just waiting to see when it will happen again.

Airbag warning light illuminates on startup, remains on, then turns off. Will come back on after a few minutes, then cycle on-off during normal driving. Light remains on more than off during driving. This looks like clockspring recall that effected 98-99 caravans, but no recall issued for this safety issue??.

The local Dodge dealer said the problem was in the wiring harness for the air bag system. The diagnosis cost $88. 00. The wiring harness replacement part cost about $10. 00. The labor to replace the part cost about $213. 00. Total cost about $310. It seems that this is a frequent problem in the Chrysler/Dodge vehicle's air bag system, because the part carried instructions for the 2002-2006 model years. This is not a wear item, but instead it is a manufacturing defect in the wiring system and/or it's connectors. The consumer should not have to pay for defective parts. The consumer pays for a vehicle that is supposed to be of good quality and equipped with safety systems that are reliable and well constructed. The manufacturer should be responsible for replacing these defective parts.
