“I got the Town And Country Chrysler 2004, and the air bag lights started to blink on and off after a year, in 2005 the lights were permanently on. I had a crash in 2009 not big enough to make the air bag work anyway the air bags red light were on, then the dealer gave the data of how long the air bag were not working, it seems that it had the same problem as the air bags recall 1998/2002. I had several other problems in fixing this car but I do want to know if the 2004 made is included in the recall. …”
NHTSA complaint #10344619, filed 2010-07, 40,000 miles“June 24,2009 the airbag on my 2004 caravan -decided to explode. I was not in an accident (also it was the passenger side air bag). I was leaving my house going maybe 10mph all of a sudden I smelled something like rubber burning, right after that the air bag exploded. I called Chrysler and they had the care investigated. They found that the computer for the air bag was defaulted. They would not fix my car because I didn't have a warranty anymore. They also told me that they disconnected the driver side one. So right now I am driving a car with no protection.”
NHTSA complaint #10284384, filed 2009-09, 81,000 miles“After impact with a high curb in a parking lot doing approximately 5 miles per hour, both front air bags deployed. This seems to be an issue in a 2005 recall by Chrysler but not the 2004. This is definitely a safety issue and should be dealt with immediately.”
