2005 Dodge Grand Caravan SXT front passenger airbag and the airbag light.
- Maple Lake, MN, USA
2005 Dodge Grand Caravan mfg 6-05 the air bag light was on and the dealer said it was the front right sensor. I replaced the part and found the pin on the sensor was completely corroded off on the purple wire. I bought the connector kit to replace the plug to the sensor. When I stripped the white wire the wire is also corroded. It is black and tarnished. I checked back to 8 inches and could not find clean copper. I know that the senor was in a recall up to Feb. 08, but I think there may be other issues involved in the failures. I still have the senor and connector.

Cathedral city Dodge refused to work on the recall because the vehicle was modified. The recall problem had nothing to do with the modifications but cathedral city Dodge refused to work on it.. after several heated conversations with management cathedral city Dodge returned my vehicle with a dead battery, and a leak in my engine and did not fix the recalled item. After I received my vehicle I noticed that the new problems with my vehicle had nothing to do with the modifications but were independent from any modifications previously made to my vehicle. After complaining to the Dodge corporation I was referred to the Dodge service center in laquinta. There my car was equipped with a new battery and the recall item was not fixed because the manager refused to work on the vehicle because of the modifications. I called laquinta Dodge to complain and my vehicle was returned to me with the engine leak, the unserviced recall item and now in doesn't shift into gear. The cathedral city service center and the laquinta service center didn't even check to see if the problems were in anyway way connected to the modifications. They just refused to even look at it. Now there is another recall on my Dodge Grand Caravan that has to do with the airbags and laquinta is refusing to work on it. In summary my vehicle arrived in palm springs fully operational in June 2006 and ever since the first contact with cathedral city service center my vehicle has been inoperable. Between the cathedral city and laquinta Dodge service centers my car now has an engine leak, a bad heating coil, defected airbags problems shifting into gear and does not start. My vehicle was fully operational and had 80 miles on it when it arrived at cathedral city Dodge in 2006 and now has 87 miles on it and is in operable. That?S 87 miles not 8,700 or 87,000 miles. It has only 87 miles because it hasn't been running since cathedral city and laquinta Dodge have damaged my vehicle.

This caused both the rear and front end of the vehicle to be completely destroyed. The air bags failed to deploy. The contact's child was injured and property damage incurred. The current and failure mileages were 24,930.

The airbag light is on due to a corroded sensor. The left sensor failed while under warranty and was replaced by Chrysler. The right sensor went out at 40K and is currently being repaired. It seems like these sensors are prone to failure, and I have much concern that that the airbags might not be deployed when in an accident.

My wife was involved in an accident on December 7, 2006 wherein her 2005 Dodge Grand Caravan was rear ended by a truck while she was stopped in traffic. The impact was great enough to push her vehicle into the back of the vehicle in front of her. Despite the degree of impact, which was enough to total her mini van, none of the airbags released. I am concerned as to why this was the case.

I wrecked my 2005 Dodge Grand Caravan into a hill side and struck a telephone pole hard enough to break the pole in two. My air bag system did not deploy. I did over $6000 worth of damage to my van but no air bags. I have had the van serviced twice in the past for the air bag senor light coming on. I am worried that the air bag system is faulty.
