2005 Chrysler Town and Country airbags complaints
Page 5 of 6: complaints 101 to 130 of 153, newest first, as owners wrote them.
The airbag warning lamp came on intermittently at first over the course of a week or so then it stayed on solid. I took it to the dealer for service while under warranty and they replaced the right front airbag sensor without cost under warranty which fixed the problem. The reason I'm filing this complaint is because the sensor recall (id # 07v192000) only covers vehicles with build dates between apr 24, 2003 and feb 2, 2005. My vehicle, which has a "date of mfr" of 07/05, is not covered by this recall. My concern is that if the problem with my vehicle is not just a random occurrence chrysler may have underestimated the number of vehicles potentially impacted by the recall.
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. There has been a noise at the front of the vehicle for quite some time and then I noticed the van was leaking something. I took it to the dealer and they said there was a leak in the steering gear assembly and that it needed to be replaced. They also said that they are replacing so many of them that the part was backordered and they were unsure when they would get one. That was in nov. 2007. It is now april 2008 and I am still waiting. In feb of 2008 I was told they had one for me and I took my van in and then was told that it never arrived and that they told their parts dealer that they needed it immediately because the power steering fluid is leaking onto other parts and can cause problems. It's still been two months since then and nothing. The whole front of my van feels and sounds like its going to fall off at any moment. I have had to refill my power steering fluid every 2-3 days since nov 07 and it isn't getting any better. Unfortunately, this is not the only problem I have had with this van. The right cv joint had to be replaced after only 2 years, the air bag sensors went bad and only after I paid to have it checked out to the tune of $70 were they recalled, there was a recall on the rear heating/cooling tubes because of cold weather conditions, the driver side sliding door no longer works as well as the front passenger window. During a terrible rain storm, I had to go through a large puddle and the spare tire was ripped from the undercarriage because it was never sealed properly and the part was defective. Both sets of brakes have had to be replaced, rotors redone and the tires have been replaced twice.
2005 chrysler mini-van airbag light came on and will not reset. Upon review the federal safety agency had called for a recall due to corrosion to sensors from road salt. Chrysler then issued a recall, but only for a limited number vehicles. We then scheduled a visit to the dealership they rejected this van as not being under recall. Argued that after the worse year for salt usage, in ohio would they at least look to see if the van had the "same" problem as those recalled. They stated it would be a minimum of 82.00 just to look and would still not be covered under recall.

In the following months the airbag light has come on: february 05, may 06, november 06, december 06, jan 07, february 07, march 07, the light has stayed on for 3 minutes - 40 minutes. I have repeatedly brought the vehicle back to the dealer. Sometimes it throughs a code ,but most often it did not. At times they have been able to duplicate the problem ,and sometimes they could not. Recently they have not been able to duplicate the problem and no codes were shoown. The dealer was looking to chrylser for tech support, and I have been waiting 6 weeks. I have contacted chrysler may times, they told me to deal with the dealer - there is nothing that can be done unless a code is thrown or the problem is duplicated. They have also told me that when the light goes on the airbag will not work.

We have a 2005 town and country minivan that we purchased from brunswick auto mart. We have had to have it serviced to repair the air bag sensors three times in less than 45,000 miles. There has been no reason why the sensors says failure. The bags have not been deployed in an accident or even inadvertently but a vehicle that has a safety system mandated by the government should have to meet better qualifications.
Follow up on an existing open item the federal safety agency action number : ea06003 front air bag crash sensor failure: air bags:frontal chrysler / town and country 2005 my air bag lights were blinking the one on the dash board and the one on the middle of the console. I took it in for service and after 2 days and $350 (not covered by warranty) the sensor was replaced. The lights continue to blink and make a tone within the next 24 hours. I am taking it back for more review by the dealer.
Tl* - the contact stated that the air bags lights continued to turn on and off. The contact stated that on rainy days the light came on and off more frequently. This started in november 2006. She took the vehicle to the dealership on 1/10/06, and was told that a clock spring in the steering column was the cause of the malfunction. The mechanic did inform ed the contact that this could cause the horn, signal lights, and air bags to malfunction. *ak updated 1/30/2007 -
Dt*: the contact stated the airbag warning light illuminated constantly. The vehicle was taken to a service dealer, who stated that the contact should give the vehicle a couple of days to see if the light reset, but it did not. The dealer was contacted a second time, who then stated the problem was most likely due to failure of the air bag sensor.
Air bag light was on constantly at approximately 40k miles. Replaced impact front sensors which was not covered under warranty, either from the manufacturer or extended purchased warranty. Noticed from your website that this is currently under investigation the federal safety agency action number ea06003.
I was involved in an accident in november last year. Upon repairing the van, an inspection was done on the front airbag sensors, and it was told to me that they were in working order. I believe that to be a lie. Everytime my wife moves in the front passenger seat, the passenger airbag light in the center panel comes on. This light usually will stay on for approx a couple minutes at a time. A gentleman from the safety department had contacted me and told me they were investigating the failure of the front airbag sensors. He had asked for pictures, which at that time I did not have. I have pictures that I have found which I can send you upon request.
My 2005 chrysler town and country mini van has repeatedly had its airbag light go on while operating vehicle. It has been in at least 6 or 7 times to date for repair and once they kept it for two weeks. They assured me the problem was fixed and again the light is on. I contacted chrysler who advised it was a dealer issue and nothing was resolved. Now the vehicle has over 36,000 miles and the airbag light is on again and I am concerned that the unresolved repair will not be covered. The service manager from dealership also advised that airbag system will not work if light is on. This required equipment seems to be trouble prone.
I have a chrysler town & country lx 2005, unfortunately I had an accident, I received a lateral impact from a car that passed a red light and we were projected to the opposite corner where we finally stopped because we crashed against a pole that was over the sidewalk. My concern is that even though we had a frontal impact, air bags did not open (we broke the pole). The advertising from chrysler says that minivans scored the 5 stars from the federal safety agency. I do not feel secure any more in that vehicle and I was wondering if there is a warranty against air bags failures; what can I do? I do not want that minivan anymore; I do not feel that my family could be safe in case of accident.
