2006 Dodge Grand Caravan SXT..................airbag light on all the time. Had to the dealer four times........last time they said they replaced a part. Light came back on the next day and has been on ever since................several months ago. Am taking my grandchildren on a 2,000 trip June 1st and want it fixed by then, but looks like the recall won't even go out until June. From what I have read they have known about and were "investigating" this problem for several years. I have not had an accident, but if I do..........I want the airbag to work properly!!!

Grand Caravan

My 2006 model year Dodge Grand Caravan has had the airbag light lit for several weeks now. I am aware that there was a recall on models through the 2005 year but from what I can find on the internet Chrysler will not replace the defective part on later models. This is a serious safety issue, given the fact that the airbags will not deploy in the event of a collision. It should be fixed at no cost to the consumer under a recall.

Grand Caravan

  • 41,000 miles
My 2006 model year Dodge Grand Caravan has had the airbag light lit for several months now. The Dodge dealership in my area claims there was a recall for 2005 model year only, despite the fact that the 2006 model Grand Caravan is virtually identical to the 2005 model vehicle. My vehicle developed this airbag problem when it was only 2 years old. This is a serious safety issue, given the fact that the airbags will not deploy in the event of a collision. It should be fixed at no cost to the consumer under a recall.

On 2/18/07 my 2006 Dodge/Chrysler minivan was repaired by replacing the front impact sensors that deploys the airbag system upon impact due to corrosion of the seals on the sensors and wiring. 2005 models were recalled due to the same problem and it appears the problem is continuing into at least the 2006 models. Please advise.
