“4/17/2016 we had an accident which totaled our van. The front was damaged and the van was totaled however the air bags did not deploy even the windshield was damaged”
NHTSA complaint #10855334, filed 2016-04, 85,500 miles“Air bag light came on and will not go off. Per owners manual and other sources - this is a failure of the airbag sensor. Cause is leakage into the sensor from road salt and or water. Air bag is possibly in a non-working condition - thus leaving the potential for bodily harm if a crash should occur. Manufacturer is not offering a fix at this time, and actually denies any problems with said devices.”
NHTSA complaint #10368810, filed 2010-11, 72,000 miles“On or about december 2017, a 2007 Dodge Grand Caravan was traveling nb on the interstate and was hit from the rear by a larger vehicle. Both the driver and front passenger were wearing their seat belts and traveling 50-55 MPH. After being impacted from the rear, the vehicle spun 360 degrees.

NHTSA complaint #11056329, filed 2017-12, 134,121 miles“Airbag warning light came on and took it to the dealer. The dealer stated that the front impact sensors went bad because the wire harness corroded and caused the open circuit, causing the airbag warning light to come on causing damage to the components.”
NHTSA complaint #10429082, filed 2011-10, 89,828 miles“2007 Dodge Grand Caravan. Since about 5,000 miles the van has had an intermittent rumbling/squealing from the braking system, more pronounced at a stop, but also at low to mid-speeds. This past weekend, while driving down the driveway at less than 10 MPH, the ABS rumbled so loud the entire van shook. We then stopped the van, placed it in park and then back into gear (drive). When the brakes were again applied, they were rock solid (no movement of the brake pedal) then the pedal went all the way to the floor, resulting in a collision with a tree vice an on-coming vehicle. …”
