2009 Chrysler Town and Country: airbag warning light

Filed Aug 16, 2020 · Airbags · 110,850 miles · OH

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!

Yellow triangle,ABS,SRS etc comes on intermittently. Scan diagnosis shows that c2200 ABS module internal failure, needs special programming. The light comes on while I am driving and then goes off again for a few miles and then comes on again. Brakes are working fine, had new brakes etc put on rear earlier this year. The light comes on when I am moving. This happens on city streets.

The SRS (airbag warning light) came on my 2009 chrysler town & country during the last week of february 2013. I took the car into the local dealership for diagnostics. They found that the orc (occupant restraint controller) module was giving a fault code b2208 and needs to be replaced by part # 68148358aa (orc module). My own research found a 2011 chrysler safety recall l01 occupant restraint controller module (attached) for 2008 models of the chrysler town & country and dodge. Page 3 calls for replacing the orc module with same part number as the one on my vehicle (68148358aa) and replace with caa3l016ab. Also a k25 recall for a drain grommet kit is called for. Only difference is the recall is for the 2008 town & country. The dealership said that my vehicle VIN [xxx] is not listed for the recall. I called the chrysler group recall assistance center @ 1‑800‑853‑1403 and they basically said the same thing as the dealership told me. Chrysler needs to honor their commitment to customer safety by including my vehicle in this recall. The same part numbers exist on both the 2008 model and the 2009 model. This tells me that chrysler did not improve the orc module in 2009. They used the same. Therefore the same condition exists in the 2009. Safety recall l01 was issued in october 2011. So chrysler continued to use the same orc module and drain grommet kit in subsequent models until enough customer complaints justified issuing a recall. I'm very concerned that the air bag system may not deploy or it may deploy inadvertently until this is repaired.
