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.

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.

I own a 2006 town and country and the air bag has been illuminated for approximately 10000 miles. I noticed that on rainy days the air bag light would illuminate and on dry days it would go off. Currently it has been on all the time and it never goes out and my car repair man cannot read the code. I looked up the recalls associated with my van and find that my specific VIN is not listed in a recall but I completely believe that the problem is listed in recall 10v008000 but it is not covered according to my repair shop. I am trying to find out what to do regarding this issue. I don't know if it's because I bought it used that maybe it isn't listed in il and that is why it is not in the recall. I just put $800 in repairs in this car but I feel that if the problem is chryslers then they should fix it.

The air bag warning light comes on and stays on for a few minutes, to over an hour, every few days or so, and, due to faulty air bad sensors being an the federal safety agency issue with 06 chryslers this is cause for great concern for me and my family; for the 1 1/2 years I have owned this town & country I have continual problems with exterior and interior lights, blinking on and off, headlights and/or parking lights staying on after I've turned the lights off and then turn the car off. I continue replacing relay switches and parts. On, the parking lights are staying on after I've turned everything off, and; while driving off normally the transaxle whistles, screeches and bogs down when changing gears, even though transaxle fluid is changed regularly and filter is clean.

Took a trip south, the air bag light came on while I was driving. When I stopped to eat at a restaurant, and started up the engine, the light was off and eventually came back on. The longer I drove thelonger it stayed on. Now it comes on but not that often. Am I in danger?
