“Air bag light and signal goes on every thirty seconds. Concerned that either the airbag will deploy without impact or may not deploy when required. I brought into dealer nd they indicated a prt clock spring ' needed replacement to make sure air bag was functioning correctly. This is a safety issue noticed on some other chrysler products. There is no recall notice on this model although there is on other chrysler vans.”

“I received safety recall notice m35/NHTSA 12v-527. Upon contacting dealer I learned they will require my car for 4 to 6 hours, and they do not offer loaner cars, which will require my renting a car. I am on limited income and cannot rent a car for 6 hours. Do I have any other options, but to do nothing?”
