What is wrong: Vehicle description: mini vans. The wiring that initiates the driver and/or passenger air bag could electrically short circuit to ground. A short circuit to ground that exists immediately after turning the ignition key to the "on" or "start" position can cause the air bag(s) to inadvertently deploy.
Risk: Inadvertent air bag deployment can injure a front seat occupant.
Remedy: Dealers will perform an electronic diagnostic check. Any short circuits identified in either the driver's or passenger side air bag initiator wire circuit will be repaired.

Filed Feb 14, 2001 · Airbags, Steering · WI

The problem started shortly after I brought the van. The steering column would "freeze" & not turn while making corners sometimes. This happened 4-6 times before the steering finally "brokeloose" and allowed me to steer (it has been for the most part been steering ok since this happened). But, when this happened ("brookloose" in the steering column) the air bag indicator light has been on ever since,(the air bag has ne ver deployed & there is no passanger airbag) & the cruise control will not work sometimes now. I feel this was/is a problem & should be looked at! I would like the mgfr.(dodge) to issue free inspection certificates & then offer to fix this if it a mgfr.'s defect. Only then would I feel completely safe!

Vehicle involved in 1 accident. Driver's side airbag did not deploy- I contacted the local dealership only to be told that either there was not enough speed(my son was going 40mph) or that there was no frontal impact where the sensor is. The front end has much damage, as well as the whole vehicle was totaled. The only part not damaged was the passenger side headlight. After impact the van started to roll. I feel like the airbag should have deployed on impact. Why didn't it?
