Airbag warning light by model year
What owners say
Airbag light illuminated.... There is a recall affecting 2005 - 2006 dodge grand caravan / town and country airbags its saying my VIN has 0 recalls this is false data. My light flickers on and off and according to the book if light is illuminated my airbags won't deploy this is a serious safety concern for my family. I bought this vehicle used and the light came on about a week after I bought it during a rain.
My air bag light is on and I don't know if the sensors were recalled on my van
In 2013, the airbag sensor light came on as I was driving. I went to the dealership and was told it was the seat belt tensioner, which they replaced. Two years later, the airbag light came on again as I was driving and I took it to a local garage. I was told it was the seat belt tensioner again and they replaced it. The airbag light came on again in 2016 and they cleaned it out. On march 4, 2017, the airbag light came on again and I was told it was the seat belt tensioner again. As of march 5th, the light no longer comes on. I know there was a recall on the 2005 dodge grand caravan on the front crash sensor in 2010 (ntsa campaign id 10v008000). I was told previously that my VIN number was affected. However, I'm beginning to wonder if that's not the case.

In april of 2013, the air bag warning light illuminated on the dashboard. Took it to the dealer to check. Found that the right sensor was not working properly and that there were "broken wires." repaired the wiring and said that all was okay. I was charged over $220 for this repair. There was a 2007 recall for this issue and my car supposedly had the front sensors replaced at that time. Then, in june of 2014, the same air bag warning light appeared again. This time I researched recalls and found out that there was another recall in 2010 for this same issue. After contacting chrysler services, I was told to go back to the dealer and they would perform the repair/replacement at no cost. After they performed the work, which they said again was a broken wire, I was charged another $200. They stated that it had nothing to do with sensor, just the wiring, and therefore was not covered by the recall. Just waiting to see when it will happen again.
Tl* the contact owns a 2005 dodge grand caravan. The contact stated while driving approximately 30 MPH, the engine stalled without warning. The contact also stated that the shifting had to be tampered in order to restart the vehicle after multiple attempts. In addition, the automatic door on the driver side would not close properly,which caused her to drive the vehicle with the door completely open. The problem recurred multiple times. Also, the driver side air bag warning light illuminated continuously. The vehicle was not taken to a mechanic for a diagnosis and the vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure and the approximate failure mileage was 104,000.

- What is wrong
- Chrysler is recalling certain model year 2005-2006 dodge caravan, grand caravan and chrysler town & country vehicles originally sold in or currently registered in the states of connecticut, delaware, iowa, illinois, indiana, kansas, kentucky, massachusetts, maine, maryland, michigan, minnesota, missouri, nebraska, new hampshire, new jersey, new york, north dakota, ohio, pennsylvania, rhode island, south dakota, tennessee, utah, vermont, virginia, west virginia, wisconsin, alaska and the district of columbia. The front crash sensors may crack under certain environmental conditions and allow water to enter into the sensor. This can cause the sensor to become inoperative and illuminate the airbag warning light. These sensors were added to enhance the performance of the airbag system in certain frontal crashes.
- Risk
- If the front crash sensors become inoperative, the driver is immediately alerted by illumination of the airbag warning light and the vehicle should be promptly serviced. Until the vehicle is repaired, the airbags may not provide the enhanced protection in the event of a crash.
- Remedy
- Chrysler will replace the front airbag sensors with a new design. This service will be performed free of charge. The safety improvement campaign will begin during june 2010. Owners may contact chrysler at 1‑800‑853‑1403.
