“We had our 2002 Town And Country to the dealer in johnson city tn a few years back for the same complaint (air bag light stays on). 2001 and I think 2003 were recalled for this problem but not 2002. This dealer too wanted us to foot the bill a third time. Said no. Did not know that they were not to sell a vehicle with the air bag light on.”
NHTSA complaint #10415081, filed 2011-07, 150,000 miles“My right side airbag internally opened (2002 Chrysler town & country 3.3 v-6) stated by metro jeep and Chrysler. I don't understand why. I have no idea why this happened. I haven't been in any kind of collision. At metro jeep & Chrysler. I was told that if a new module is not put in, the right side airbag won't deploy. I believe that this is a manufacturer s (Chrysler) error.”
NHTSA complaint #10203073, filed 2007-09, 81,587 miles“Air bag light is lit, was supposedly fixed but came back on and we were told that we would need to pay for repair. It is a 2002 Town And Country, 2001 and 2003 were recalled for same safety defect. Why is our year exempted, is Chrysler that inept to fix problems???”
NHTSA complaint #10336401, filed 2010-06, 50,000 miles“My car collided with a 1999 ford f150. My car hit the truck from behind. The impact resulted in severe damage to the front of my car. In fact, my car was totaled and the airbags never deployed.”
NHTSA complaint #10652236, filed 2014-11, 140,316 miles“My airbag light is on, it is a know problem in the Chrysler town & country however this year (2002) doesn't have a recall. I also have a 2005 town & country that is covered under the recall. I want my airbag problem covered under the recall, this is obviously a big problem and I no longer feel safe in my vehicle. The airbag could deploy or may not deploy because of this issue. Please contact me and tell me how I can have this safety issue resolved.”
