AFTER 2 complaints about defective air bag sensors "THAT GOT ME NOWHERE", I guess you can forget about it because I put a piece of tape over the airbag light. they put the junk sensors in ALL the 2005 vans and some 2006 but for some reason NOT ALL WERE RECALLED.. I don't understand why this hasn't been resolved.. I'll be [XXX] if I'm paying 300-400 bucks for something that other people are getting repaired for free.. THANKS FOR NOTHING...

I HAVE A AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT ON MY DASH, I FOUND OUT THAT THERE WAS A "SAFETY IMPROVEMENT CAMPAIGN" J-38 AND X-26, NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 10V008000, NHTSA ACTION NUMBER: RQ09003. I WENT TO MY LOCAL DEALER ( ROBERT LOEHR ) IN CARTERSVILLE GA AND WAS TOLD THAT MY VAN WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THIS "SAFETY IMPROVEMENT CAMPAIGN" BECAUSE MY VIN WAS NOT PART OF THE CAMPAIGN THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET FOR THE REPAIR. I THEN CALLED CHRYSLER AND SPOKE TO TORIE AND SHE SAID THAT IT WAS ONLY FOR VEHICLE IN THE "SALT BELT" BUT MY VAN'S VIN WAS BUILT IN THE SAME TIME FRAME AS THE DEFECTIVE PART BUT BECAUSE MY VAN VIN WAS NOT PART OF THE CAMPAIGN SHE WOULD HAVE TO HAVE ME TALK TO SOMEONE IN CUSTOMER SERVICE. I SPOKE TO EMILY AND SHE STATED THAT BECAUSE MY VIN WAS NOT PART OF THE CAMPAIGN I WOULD HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET. I THEN SPOKE TO HER SUPERVISOR MIKE AND TOLD ME THE SAME THING BUT THAT AFTER I GOT THE REPAIRS MADE TO CONTACT THEM TO SEE IF I WAS ELIGIBLE FOR AN REIMBURSEMENT. IT SOUNDS TO ME THAT CHRYSLER KNOWS THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THIS SENSOR BUT THEY ONLY WANT TO REPLACE THE ONES WHERE THERE IT SNOW AND THEY SALT THE ROADS. I LIVE IN NORTH GEORGIA AND WE HAVE SNOW AND THEY SALT THE ROAD PLUS WHAT ABOUT PEOPLE THAT TRAVEL INTO AREA (LIKE ME) WHERE IT SNOWS AND THEY USE SALT. CHRYSLER KNOWS THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THIS PART AND SHOULD REPLACE IT NO MATTER WHERE LIVE. IN THE LETTER CHRYSLER SENT TO NHTSA THEY STATE " HOWEVER, CHRYSLER HAS INFORMED NHTSA THAT IT WILL PROVIDE THE MODIFICATIONS DESCRIBED ABOVE AT NO COST" BUT YET THEY WANT ME TO PAY OUT OF POCKET FOR REPAIRS ON THEIR DEFECTIVE PART. I FEEL THIS SHOULD BE "UNDER THE SAFETY ACT" BECAUSE CHRYSLER KNOWS THERE IS A SAFETY PROBLEM WITH MY VEHICLE BUT REFUSE TO COVER IT UNDER THEIR "SAFETY IMPROVEMENT CAMPAIGN". *TR

BE CAREFUL OF WHAT YOU READ, ITS NOT ALWAYS TRUE. I WAS ON CHAT WITH A REP FROM MANUFACTURER,: CHRYSLER, THIS IS NO RECALL-SEE BELOW:2005 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY RECALL - #10V008000 RECALL FOR AIR BAGS : FRONTAL : SENSOR/CONTROL MODULE CHRYSLER IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2005-2006 DODGE CARAVAN, GRAND CARAVAN AND CHRYSLER TOWN & COUNTRY VEHICLES ORIGINALLY SOLD IN OR CURRENTLY REGISTERED IN THE STATES OF CONNECTICUT, DELAWARE, IOWA, ILLINOIS, INDIANA, KANSAS, KENTUCKY, MASSACHUSETTS, MAINE, MARYLAND, MICHIGAN, MINNESOTA, MISSOURI, NEBRASKA, NEW HAMPSHIRE, NEW JERSEY, NEW YORK, NORTH DAKOTA, OHIO, PENNSYLVANIA, RHODE ISLAND, SOUTH DAKOTA, TENNESSEE, UTAH, VERMONT, VIRGINIA, WEST VIRGINIA, WISCONSIN, ALASKA AND THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA. THE FRONT CRASH SENSORS MAY CRACK UNDER CERTAIN ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS AND ALLOW WATER TO ENTER INTO THE SENSOR. THIS CAN CAUSE THE SENSOR TO BECOME INOPERATIVE AND ILLUMINATE THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT. THESE SENSORS WERE ADDED TO ENHANCE THE PERFORMANCE OF THE AIRBAG SYSTEM IN CERTAIN FRONTAL CRASHES.

POSSIBLE TAKATA RECALL. DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG MALFUNCTION - DID NOT DEPLOY. UNKNOWN AT THIS TIME AS TO THE SPECIFIC MECHANICAL PART OF THE AIRBAG SYSTEM THAT MALFUNCTIONED IN THIS ACCIDENT. ACCIDENT: DRIVER OF (VEHICLE NO.2) WAS DRIVING A 2005 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY ON HIGHWAY WHEN HE WAS HIT ON THE LEFT REAR SIDE/REAR END OF THE VEHICLE.

AS A RESULT OF THE IMPACT FROM VEHICLE NO. 1, VEHICLE NO. 2 CRASHED INTO A MEDIAN WALL AND WAS TAKEN BY AMBULANCE TO THE NEAREST HOSPITAL TO TREAT HIS INJURIES. SEE POLICE REPORT. UPON IMPACT, THE AIR BAG ON THE PASSENGER SIDE DEPLOYED BUT THE DRIVER SIDE DID NOT CAUSING GREAT INJURY TO THE DRIVER OF VEHICLE NO. 2. PLEASE SEE PHOTO OF THE INSIDE OF THE VEHICLE WHERE IS SHOWS THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG WAS DEPLOYED BUT NOT THE DRIVER'S SIDE AIR BAG. ROAD CONDITIONS WERE DRY.

INITIALLY, THE PASSENGER AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT WOULD COME ON INTERMITTENTLY AFTER VEHICLE WAS STARTED AND RUNNING FOR A PERIOD OF TIME, AND IT MAY TURN ON AND OFF SEVERAL TIMES DURING VEHICLE USE. AFTER VEHICLE PARKED AND RESTARTED (USUALLY NEXT DAY), WITHOUT ANY APPARENT REASON THE WARNING LIGHT WOULD THEN WORK CORRECTLY (I.E., DURING ENGINE START AND SYSTEM CHECKS, WARNING LIGHTS WOULD EXTINGUISH). AFTER A FEW MONTHS, THE DRIVERS SIDE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT ALSO STARTED TO MIMIC THE SAME ISSUE (INITIALLY LESS FREQUENT). WE CONTACTED DEALERSHIP TO ASK ABOUT POSSIBLE RECALL OR ISSUE. THEY INSPECTED IT AS PART OF SERVICE/WARRANTY APPT, NO PROBLEMS REPORTED TO BE FOUND. WE DID ASK IF THEY KNEW OF SIMILAR ISSUES, BUT THEY INDICATED NO. WE CONTACTED CHRYSLER (EXTENDED WARRANTY) AND THEY ALSO SAID NO KNOWN ISSUES, IT WAS NOT A WARRANTY ISSUE, AND ASKED IF PROBLEM POSSIBLY RELATED TO ANY ACCIDENT (BUT IT HAS NOT BEEN IN ANY ACCIDENT). THIS ISSUE HAS BECOME MORE TROUBLESOME AS THE WARNING LIGHTS NOW ACTIVATE MUCH MORE FREQUENTLY, AND THEN STAY ACTIVE MOST OR ENTIRE TIME VEHICLE IS ON AND EVEN CONTINUE TO LIGHT UP AFTER VEHICLE PARKED OVERNIGHT.

FIVE DIFFERENT TIMES WE HAVE HAD THE SENSOR FOR THE AIRBAGS NEED TO BE REPLACED. WE WERE PART OF A RECALL ON THE OUTER ONE, BUT THIS IS THE ONE THAT IS AFFECTED BY THE DRIVER'S SEAT BEING MOVED. WE HAVE HAD THIS SAME SENSOR "FIXED" FOUR TIMES. EACH TIME WE PAY AND THEN IT BREAKS AGAIN. IT BEGINS SENDING A SIGNAL THAT IT IS OUT WHEN MOVING THE DRIVER'S SEAT BUT WILL GO BACK OFF IF YOU MOVE THE SEAT AGAIN. THIS GOES ON FOR A FEW WEEKS AND THEN THE SENSOR GOES BAD PERMANENTLY. WE ARE NOW DRIVING YET AGAIN WITHOUT AIRBAGS. WE HAVE CALLED CHRYSLER AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT WE CAN PAY YET AGAIN TO HAVE IT FIXED AND PERHAPS THEY CAN SEND SOMEONE WHO KNOWS HOW TO FIX IT PERMANENTLY. OR, WE CAN GET A DEAL ON A NEW CAR. WE HAVE ALREADY PAID TO HAVE IT FIXED MORE THAN ONCE AND WE BELIEVE THAT CHRYSLER IS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM AND ARE NOT WILLING TO FIX IT.

WE TURNED ON THE TRUCK AND NOTICED THE AIR BAG LIGHT WAS FLICKERING AND AS I WAS DRIVING CAME ON AND OFF; AND BEFORE WE FINISHED OUR TRIP THE LIGHT STAYED ON. ANOTHER SYMPTOM THAT WE NOTICED BEFORE THIS HAPPENED, WAS THE DASHBOARD NEEDLES WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE OPPOSITE SIDE BUT CAME BACK TO NORMAL POSITION. I CALLED CHRYSLER AT 1800 853-1403 TO FIND OUT INFORMATION ON ANY AIR BAG RECALLS, HOWEVER I WAS TOLD THE RECALL WAS SERVICED ON NOVEMBER 15,2007 AND THEY DID NOT PROVIDE ME WITH CONFIRMATION NUMBER AND BELIEVE THIS PROBLEM WAS NOT FIXED PROPERLY OR WAS NOT FIXED AT ALL. *TR

AIR BAG LIGHT TURNS ON WHEN I TURN ON THE VAN, AND IT DOESN'T GO OFF UNTIL I TURN OFF THE VAN. I SEE THERE WAS A RECALL IN 2010 FOR THIS WHERE THE CRASH SENSOR CRACKS IN COLD WEATHER AND MOISTURE GETS INTO THE SENSOR, CAUSING THE AIRBAG LIGHT TO GO ON AND STAY ON, AND ALSO CAUSING THE AIRBAGS TO NOT INFLATE WHEN NEEDED.

GOT RECALL NOTICE FROM CHRYSLER L01 TELLING ME THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH MY OCCUPANT RESTRAINT CONTROLLER. CHRYSLER TELLS ME THAT IT COULD CAUSE MY AIR BAGS TO DEPLOY AT THE WRONG TIME. CALLED DEALER AND HE TELLS ME THAT THERE ARE NO PARTS NOW TO REPAIR THE ISSUE. I HAVE TO BRING AUTO TO DEALER AND HAVE THEM DISASSEMBLE AND SCAN THE PART TO GET THE CORRECT PART NUMBER OF THE CONTROLLER, THEN THEY WILL ORDER THE PART. SINCE THERE ARE CURRENTLY NO PARTS AVAIL, THE WAIT IS EXPECTED TO BE UP TO TWO MONTHS OR MORE. SO IN THE MEAN TIME I AM DRIVING A VEHICLE KNOWN TO HAVE A DEMONSTRATED PREMATURE AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT.

FEW MONTHS AFTER PURCHASE THE RED AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT WOULD OCCASIONALLY COME ON WHILE AT IDLE OR DRIVING RATES. NO OTHER PROBLEMS OCCURRED AND IT WASN'T HAPPENING FREQUENTLY. BY THE END OF THE FIRST YEAR OF OWNERSHIP, THE DRIVER SIDE BACK DOOR LOCK QUIT WORKING WITH THE AUTOMATIC LOCKS, AND WITHIN A YEAR AN A HALF THE DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW WOULD OCCASIONALLY NOT ROLL UP OR DOWN AND THE FRONT DOME LIGHTS QUIT WORKING. REPLACED AN AIR CONDITIONER PART ALSO. SPENT $500 ON THE FRONT END AS WELL THAT YEAR. WHEN WINDOW FAILURE WAS MORE FREQUENT I STARTED RESEARCHING ON THE INTERNET ABOUT PROBLEMS THAT HAVE BEEN COMMON IN THIS MAKE AND MODEL OF VAN. ON OCT 4TH 2011, THE VAN FAILED TO START, MAKING A TICKING SOUND, FIGURED BATTERY OR ALTERNATOR. WE CLEANED BATTERY CABLES, TRIED WHAT WE COULD TO GET IT STARTED. THE RADIO AND DASHLIGHTS CAME ON,ALL THE GAUGES WOULD JUMP ERRATICALLY; WHEN WE ROLLED UP THE PASSENGER WINDOWS RADIO REMAINED ON, HOWEVER WHEN WE ROLLED UP THE DRIVERS WINDOW THE RADIO AND ALL GAUGES QUIT WORKING. WE ENDED UP JUMPING IT AND WERE ABLE TO DRIVE IT HOME. HAD THE BATTERY TESTED AND TRIED A BRAND NEW BATTERY TO MAKE SURE THAT WAS THE ONLY PROBLEM. WHEN WE PUT THE BATTERY IN AND STARTED IT, FLAMES SHOT UP FROM THE MIDDLE SECTION OF THE VAN, JUST INFRONT OF THE ENGINE. THE PANIC ALARM, THE HORN, AND THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WHERE ALL GOING OFF. AS SOON AS WE GOT THE BATTERY DISCONNECTED THE FIRE WENT OUT AND ALARMS AND WIPERS WENT OFF. I TALKED TO THE NEAREST CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP AND FROM EXPLANATION OF THE VARIOUS PROBLEMS THEY SAID IT SOUNDED LIKE SEVERAL LITTLE PROBLEMS AS OPPOSED TO ONE BIG ELECTRICAL PROBLEM. I HAVE 3 SMALL CHILDREN AND AFTER THE EXPERIENCES I HAVE HAD WITH THE VAN AND READING OTHERS ISSUES ONLINE, I CANT WAIT TO GET RID OF THIS PIECE. *TR

MY VEHICLE IS A 2005 CHRYSLER TOWN & COUNTRY MINI-VAN. THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT COMES ON FREQUENTLY. IN SPRING 2009, [?] I CALLED CHRYSLER HEADQUARTERS, AND REQUESTED THEY FIX IT. I TALKED TO A CHRYSLER REP. A FEW TIMES, BY PHONE, WHO REQUIRED THAT I TAKE IT TO THE DEALER FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TEST, WHICH I WAS TO PAY FOR. I DID. BUT CHRYSLER WAVED THE DIAGNOSTIC FEE. THEY TOLD ME THAT CHRYSLER WAS NOT GOING TO COVER THE COST OF THE FIX. AS THE RECALL AT THAT TIME DID NOT INCLUDE MISSOURI. ONLY 20 SOME STATES IN THE N.E. AREA. THEY DID HOWEVER HAVE THE LIGHT TURNED OFF FOR A WEEK OR SO, THEN IT CAME BACK ON. AND ON ONE 80 MILE DRIVE I MADE, THIS 'AIRBAG' LIGHT CAME ON AND OFF AROUND 100 TIMES. IT STILL COMES ON AND OFF MAYBE NOT THAT FREQUENTLY . I THINK CHRYSLER SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO TAKE CARE OF THIS, & THE SEAT BELT RETAINER ISSUE, WHICH IS ALSO INTERMITTENT. CHRYSLER DID TRY TO FIX THE SEATBELT RETAINER BACK IN 2007 I THINK IT WAS, BUT ITS NOT COMPLETELY CURED. *TR

I OWN A 2005 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY MINIVAN. I NOTICED THAT THERE IS A RECALL ON THE FRONT CRASH SENSOR THAT DOESN'T START UNTIL JUNE, BUT MY AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT IS ALREADY ILLUMINATED. IT STARTED LIGHTING UP A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO. WHEN I CONTACTED MY LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP, THEY DENIED ANY KNOWLEDGE OF A RECALL. I CALLED CHRYSLER DIRECTLY AND WAS TOLD THAT I COULD GET THE SENSOR FIXED RIGHT NOW, BUT IT WOULD HAVE TO BE AT MY OWN EXPENSE. THE DEALERSHIP WAS GOING TO CHARGE ME $130 FOR DIAGNOSTICS, WHEN THEY SHOULD ALREADY KNOW ABOUT THE RECALL. MY CONCERN IS THIS: IF (GOD FORBID) I HAPPEN TO BE IN A CRASH BETWEEN NOW AND JUNE, WHAT HAPPENS IF MY AIRBAG DOESN'T DEPLOY? CHRYSLER IS AWARE THAT MY SENSOR IS OUT AND IS DOING NOTHING. WHAT ARE MY OPTIONS FOR ENSURING THE SAFETY OF MY VEHICLE OVER THE COURSE OF THE NEXT THREE MONTHS, BEFORE THE "OFFICIAL" RECALL BEGINS?

IT STARTED ACTUALLY QUITE SOME TIME AGO. IT SEEMED THAT EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE I WOULD LOSE MY POWER STEERING. ONCE IT ALMOST CAUSED ME TO RUN OFF THE ROAD AND INTO A CEMENT CURB. LUCKILY, I WAS ABLE TO WORK THE WHEEL AROUND AND AFTER ABOUT FIVE MINUTES OF TRYING TO CONTROL THE VAN, THE POWER STEERING CAME BACK.
