NHTSA complaint #10114730, filed 2005-03, 56,320 miles“I purchased my caravan in november of 2005. One month after buying it the air bag light stays on continuously.

Do I have to worry about other electrical problems that will cost me a fortune? Lg,mi.”
NHTSA complaint #10151817, filed 2006-03“Prior to 50,000 miles the airbag light came on in the vehicle. During a recall I paid $75.00 to run a dio to find the problem. The result was s10 dio time found the pass side air bag bad, parts and labor $1034.00 . This vehicle has never been in an accident!
