Air conditioning condensation leaking below dashboard and onto carpet, causing electrical shorts in air bag and anti-lock brake (ABS). Chrysler identified this issue and issued a recall (K25) in January 2011, but only for vehicles manufactured through December 3, 2008. In consultation with Chrysler and according to its own internal documentation, my vehicle (manufactured in February 2009) has the same defective parts and is prone to the same safety issues caused by condensation leaking into critical electronic safety components, but they refuse to remedy the safety issue "due to it not being subject to the recall" -- despite Chrysler personnel conceding that my February-2009 was manufactured with the same, identical, flawed parts as those 2008 and earlier 2009 models that are subject to recall K25.

The van was parked and ignition turned off. Airbags deployed without warning. No collision, no bumpy road conditions, and no warning prior to deployment. Van was inspected at repair shop through insurance where they determined it was a manufacturer issue. When we contacted the manufacturer they stated since there was no recall they could not help us. Police was called and report made. Also have witnesses that van was parked and turned off at the time. Thankfully no one was in vehicle or could have been worse. Front airbags are the only ones that deployed.

The SRS (airbag warning light) came on while driving and then stayed on constantly on my wife's 2009 chrysler town & country van in july 2020. I took the van into the local chrysler dealership for diagnostics. They found that the occupant restraint module was faulty and needed to be replaced by part # 68148358aa (occupant restraint module). The dealer charged me $735 for the repair. After the repair was made I did some research and found that chrysler had a recall for faulty occupant restraint modules on chrysler town and country vehicles manufactured june 18, 2007, to august 31, 2008. The recall number is s07. I checked the manufacturing date on our chrysler town and country vehicle and found that it was manufactured in september 2008 (one month after the date range for recall s07). I called chrysler and asked if our van should be covered since it had the same problem as described in recall s07. The response was that the VIN number was not included in the recall and that the VIN number range in the recall was set by the federal safety agency. It appears that other owners of 2009 chrylser town & country vans manufactured after august 2008 are experiencing the same failures of the orc modules. I would like the federal safety agency to investigate to see if the same issue that caused recall s07 is present on the chrysler town and country vans manufactured after the august 2008 manufacturing date. When I asked the chrysler customer care department if they would reimburse me for the replacement of the orc assembly they said no and that the only way they would reimburse me is if the VIN number range was extended by the federal safety agency (case number 76954596). Would you please investigate and if you find the issue that lead to recall s07 exists in chrysler town and country vans manufactured after august 2008, extend the recall to include all the vans that have this condition? Thank you!
