Air bag indicator lights up intermittently indicating a sensor issue. There was already a recall for this issue and according to bin report the issue was corrected, but the issue has continued. The indicator light comes on whether moving or not.

My family and I were involved in a 3 vehicle collision on the freeway around 5:45 pm. Conditions on the freeway, moderate-heavy traffic, it had rained, so the roads were wet. The hyundai SUV suddenly slammed on their brakes. I was about 50 ft behind that vehicle, doing the speed limit of 65 MPH, I stepped on my brakes, our van began to slide, and ended up rear ending the SUV in front of us. Neither of my airbags deployed on the van (the driver side/nor the passenger side). My husband was sitting in the passenger seat. My chest hit the steering wheel, but I chose not to have any type of medical aid on the scene. I contacted chrysler immediately the day after the incident at their #800‑247‑9753 (claim #31347016). Needless to say, they took their time & never really got back to me, so when I finally got ahold of someone again, they said they had closed my original case (no one ever got a hold of me on that one) because they couldn't contact me, even though they were given my home address/email/phone #. 2nd time (now case #31597130) at phone #800‑992‑1997, an "inspector" from chrysler finally responded to our address (where van is parked/totalled) did what he called an inspection. I received a letter a couple days from j. Susalla/special investigations at fca (fiat/chrysler automobiles) saying conclusion of investigation "is that the rate of deceleration necessary to activate the air bag system was not present during your accident." basically a cop out and denial that their airbag or airbag system (a very serious safety issue) was faulty in our van, and chrysler is refusing to do anything about. I have attached photos, and a copy of the letter.

Takata recall- when it is raining or wet outside from snow or humidity the air bag light is on. If it dries out then the light will go off. This happens if the car is driving or stopped and at all times. I have complained previously about this with no response. It has been on and off for the last 3-5 years.

When it rains and I'm driving a day or more the airbag light comes on, and stays on until the day after it stops raining. I am affraid they may deploy, given the problem with the possibility of this happening due to existing bad mechenisms. I want this repaired at no cost to me.

The symptoms on my minivan are identical to those found in the following recall, but because mine is registered in co, it is assumed by chrysler that this minivan has never traveled extensively in the covered states or that conditions in co couldn't possibly be similar. I'm disgusted with the impotence of the federal safety agency concerning citizen representation and the suspiciously convenient, money saving partial recall on these air bag sensors. I discovered my sensor failure while transporting my family back from a trip to estes park, co during a heavy, wet snow storm. (go figure!) the warning light came on intermittently for a several months, but eventually stayed on continuously.
