Even though chrysler has issued a recall for defective front air bag crash sensors my VIN is not listed so they will not issue me a recall notice even though I have had this problem for 3 months.
Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6) [xxx] I have a chrysler, town and country touring, 2005 model, I met with an accident on 02/03/10 while driving to washington dc, my touring is totally damaged in the front, damages over $7,000.00, however the air bags did not deploy, I have been trying to communicate with chrysler, but they have been stalling me for the past month. I strongly urge that this defective airbags be investigated as it could lead to fatalities.
Airbag light stays on all the time in my 2005 chrysler t&c. My suspicion is a defective clockspring.
Air-bag fault light came on while driving down the road. Dealer says that both front impact sensors need to be replaced due to corrosion, to the tune of $300! It doesn't seem reasonable that after 5 years and 62,000 a required safety device this important should have to be replaced at my expense due to corrosion.
On march 16, 2008 I was hit head on in my minivan by someone driving an SUV that was traveling aprox. 55 MPH on a 2 lane hwy. I believe that upon impact all of the airbags in my minivan deployed including the knee air bag that is located under the steering column in my 2005 chrysler town and country mini van. My lower legs have suffered (what is most likely) permanent pain/damage from the crushing impact of the plastic part of the dash and the knee airbag. I have nerve damage to the front of my lower legs and my ankle area. I am still treating with medication and still suffering pain on a daily basis. I have been to mayo clinic and still cannot find any "fix" to the damage that was caused by the air bag. I have had surgery on both legs and still no relief. Please help, I think the knee airbags are dangerous and the mfg. Does not even mention the airbags existence in the owners manual.
