I own a 2006 dodge caravan and about a month ago I noticed a problem when I use my turn signals. Sometimes they work fine, sometimes not at all, and sometimes the opposite blinker will turn on (ex: I use the right blinker but the left blinker come on and vise versa). This has been happening pretty much everyday since it first started. A couple of days ago when I started the car I noticed the airbag light stayed on and the passenger airbag off light on the dash stayed lit. This was very concerning because I don't know if that means the airbag is malfunctioning and won't work in an accident. I decided to do some online searching for these type of problems concerning the dodge caravans and realized that hundreds and hundreds of people were experiencing the same exact problems I am having. This is a huge safety concern because this is primarily my wife's car in which we carry our 3 children. From what I hear from other people experiencing the same issues is that this is related to a wind shield wiper problem as well. This has not yet happened to my car but I am sure it will probably start soon. If so many people are having the same problems I don't understand why there has not been a recall on this problem.

I had purchased a 2006 dodge sxt caravan,the end of sept, 2006. In feb during the snow and ice I had notice a crack in the cowl. The ice had frozen underneath and completely damaded the cowl. The dealer failed to get back to me, after a month I called they just stated they refuse to replace this saying "it was damaged due to external force" though there was no external force? This is cheap thin flexible plastic that should have not cracked completely across this cowl, now. Please help. Any water entering on the windshield does not hold from the loose molding and broken cowl around the front windshield, this is continuing to get worse. I also have a crack in the sliding glass window left side door.
