1998 Dodge Grand Caravan airbags complaints

Filed Mar 20, 2001 · Airbags · WI

The airbag warning light on the dash has been coming on intermittently since last november approximately. It sometimes lights when starting the vehicle, or while driving, or while stopped in traffic. There appears to be no pattern or circumstance that triggers the light. I had the problem checked by the dealership on march 3, 2001. I was told they had checked it out and reset the "trouble codes" and test drove the vehicle and there was no further problem. They said if the problem recurred, they would have to diagnose it further. I was charged about $25.00 for the work they did. The light again came on before I reached home from the dealership, and the light continues to intermittently come on and off as before. I have not contacted the dealership again regarding the continuing problem. I am filing this report because I became aware of your investigation into what sounds like the same problem I am having. When I was at the dealer, I asked if there were any similar problems reported by other owners and was told by the service manager he was not aware of any, but sometimes the clockspring couls cause a problem. But with my mileage, there wasn't any warranty coverage for repair. Please add my report to your database.
