BEGINNING IN 2005, THE AIRBAG LIGHT ON OUR CHRYSLER CONCORDE DASHBOARD BEGAN INTERMITTENT ON/OFF WHILE DRIVING. THE PROBLEM PERSISTED, BUT KNOWING IT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY AND HOW DIFFICULT ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS ARE, WE IGNORED IT. FINALLY IT REMAINED ON IN 2006 AND IN 2010 WE HAD THE AIRBAG MODULE REPLACED BY OUR DEALER. THE REPAIRED FAILED AND NOW SEEMS TO BE A DEFECTIVE WIRING HARNESS. THE CAR REMAINS AT THE DEALER. THE PARE IS UNAVAILABLE AND THE COST COULD BE THOUSANDS FOR A CAR WORTH 7K. HAS CHRYSLER HAD PROBLEMS WITH THIS MODULE OR HARNESS THAT COULD HAVE BE A SAFETY RECALL? *TR

WHILE TRAVELING FROM BALTIMORE TO BURLINGTON, VT THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. I CALLED THE LOCAL DEALER AND IT TOOK SEVERAL DAYS FOR AN APPOINTMENT. AFTER PAYING A $72 FEE FOR A DIAGNOSIS, I WAS TOLD THE PASSENGER AIR BAG WAS INOPERATIVE DUE TO AN "ELECTRONIC" FAILURE, BUT PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE AND HAD TO BE ORDERED AND I AM STILL DRIVING WITH AN INOPERATIVE AIR BAG THAT WHEN (AND IF) THE PART ARRIVES WILL COST ME SEVERAL HUNDRED DOLLARS MORE TO FIX. I CONTACTED THE CHRYSLER HOTLINE AND WAS DISAPPOINTED BY WHAT SEEMED INDIFFERENCE TO SAFETY ISSUES LIKE THIS. *JB
