On April 18, 2014, consumer made an appointment at lithia Dodge in kennewick Washington with the sole purpose to check to see if the air bag warning light on their 2005 Dodge Grand Caravan being on constantly was covered under the NHTSA recall 10V008000 "front airbag crash sensor failure". when consumer arrived for the appointment on April 21, 2014, the dealership indicated without looking at the vehicle or checking the VIN that the van may or may not be covered under the recall. They just didn't know. They could do a diagnostic on the vehicle, though: If the vehicle was covered under recall, the visit would be free. If the vehicle wasn't under recall, they would charge a $125 "diagnostic fee" to tell the consumer that it wasn't under recall. The vehicle was not inspected or repaired.

My airbag warning light came on about 2 years ago. I have had my van in several times for service and no one has paid attention to the warning light. When I had my van in this last weekend due to faulty headlights and had the warning light tested. I was told that the airbag system is not functional. So, I have no working airbags in my van currently.

The airbag dash lights came on and have not shut off. After researching I found that there is a recall for this problem only when I call I'm told the service for this has already been done. I explained that it had not, that I had never taken it in for this before. He stated it had been done in 2007, yet this recall wasn't in effect until June of 2010. I called him out on that and all he could say was that I don't qualify. According to NHTSA campaign id number : 10V008000 my car is included in this recall. What can I do?

Apparently a faulty airbag sensor light means that possibly airbags may not deploy in a collision or accident. I have contacted the dealer from where I purchased the vehicle and also check for recalls via the internet and according to the VIN #, it is not listed, but over 300,000 2005 Grand Caravan have. Why not mine?

I was involved in a major front end head on collision and my airbags failed to deploy. My husband was a passenger and hit the windshield. I was told by the garage where it was towed to that if my airbags had deployed they would have totaled my van out due to the extensive damage to the front end. I am very angry at Dodge! why have airbags if they don't work and fail to go off. Thankfully my husband wasn't killed. He is injured pretty bad though. Bad job Dodge! you should be ashamed to put your customers lives at risk!!!!!

My 2005 Dodge Grand Caravan door locks stopped working and when car drives 20mph they no longer automatic lock, this is a safety issue with children. When contacting Dodge they said its a software update that is needed. Since when do we buy cars and then need to pay hundreds to have the software updated. With thousands of complaints on the internet with the same problems and no body wants to make this a recall. I guess Dodge/Chrysler are waiting for a child to be killed before making this a recall. If any of my children get hurt there will be a lawsuit.
