Airbag warning light by model year
What owners say
Lights go out when the rain gets up under the car from splashing on the road. You have to pull over to the side of the road, turn it off and turn it back on several times and it stays on for a short time. Procedure is repeated again. Only in rainy weather and oregon gets a lot of sporadic rain. Also, the ignition tends to turn the airbag lights on and off whenever I turn a corner left or right of hit a bump.
Car airbag light came on at about 68,000 miles once and then at 78,000 it came on and stays on all the time. This is my second 2006 dodge grand caravan and that one did the same thing. Had to get rid of it because of rust at 192,000 miles. Whenever I start up and drive, it is constantly on now. Never goes out.
I went in for my inspection sticker for my 2006 dodge grand caravan, it failed due to the airbag light being on. There are known issues with the airbag sensor, but mines not covered under the recall, but its the same issue.
Every time it rains or I take my car to the car wash the airbag light comes on. After a day or two it goes off. I took it to a mechanic who told me that my van had stored codes for ' no right front side impact sensor communication ' and 'right front impact sensor internal 1'. In researching this issue I discovered recall #10v008000 which covers 2005 and 2006 grand caravans and pretty much describes exactly what is happening to my van. However, when I contacted dodge I was told that my particular VIN number is not covered under the current recall. I find it very strange that my van fits all of the parameters for the recall but is excluded.
The air bag light goes on and off periodically, both while driving and stopped, typically after a rain storm.
I was sitting at idle warming up my van and air bag light came on I tried clearing computer and light just came back on vehicle was stationary and has never been in an accident
Our air bag light comes on after repeated, exact turns of the steering wheel. Has to do with the steering wheel clock spring. It only illuminates in temps over 70 degrees or so. We live in the desert of arizona and have been excluded in previous recalls. We are afraid the air bags will not work properly in the event of a crash.
Tl* the contact owns a 2006 dodge grand caravan. While driving various speeds, the air bag warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the air bag sensor needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 80,000.
Driver side air bag warning light continually comes on for long and short periods of time. Most cases it stays on even after placing on seat belt. I believe the driver side air bag system is defective. This was on a previous recall a few years ago and corrected by the dodge dealership. However, this warning light continues to stay on for five minutes or more and than goes out.
To whom this may concern: I spoke with a dodge customer service agent recently regarding an issue with my 2006 dodge grand caravan, which I feel should be covered under chrysler recall campaign j38 but, according to them, is not. The issue with my vehicle involves a cracked airbag sensor, which currently illuminates the airbag light and I suspect may not operate properly in a frontal crash. My local mechanic copied the recall notification for me and marked the information pertinent to my particular vehicle. He feels as though the necessary repairs to the airbag sensor should be covered under this recall campaign. According to the recall notification, ?2005-2006 dodge grand caravans built from january 19, 2005 through april 5, 2006? And originally sold or currently registered in certain states (to include pennsylvania) are involved in this recall. The airbag light initially came on after driving through standing water, but would go off after a period of time. The light is now on constantly. Since my vehicle is currently registered in pennsylvania, one of the states listed on the recall notification, and was built in december 2005, I believe the repairs should be covered under this recall. Since I purchased my vehicle used with 13,000 miles on it, I do not know where it was originally sold or registered. Please contact me when you have reviewed this information and can give me your informed decision about the repairs to my vehicle and any concern you have about the safety of my vehicle. I appreciate your time and effort.
