Air bags deployed on 1994 dodge grand caravan with braun handicapped modifications while idling in the driveway during loading of handicapped woman. Attendant was injured due to proximity of head to passenger side airbag.
Air bag. I own a 1994 grand caravan. I have no other complaints about this vehicle. However, the air bag has had a problem since almost day one. The airbag panel light is always illuminated. I received a recall notice several years ago about this problem and had the van to the dealership for recall service to rectify the obviously widespread problem. I believe it was tied to a problem w/ the rear window wiper circuit. This is a problem that was fixed for all but a couple of months and to this day I don't have a working air bag or rear window wiper. I can live w/o the wiper, I'd like to have working safety equipment.
Consumer stated that when turning the vehicle on the passenger side air bag deployed. Dealer notified .
Insured was in turning lane to make a left turn and turned in front of an oncoming van. Air bag did not deploy. Shop states that specific crunch/crimping in area, sensor should have gone off, there were two injuries in accident, claim 59-v722-082.
After having repair work performed for recall 99v113000 rear windshield wiper motor has failed 14 months after repair work was performed. Consumer complained that air bag was not on a separate electrical fuse, which caused fuse for air bag to short when wiper motor failed. *ak
