Consumer Description

I OWN A 2002 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN WITH APPROXIMATELY 11,000 MILES. THE AIR BAG LIGHT HAS BEEN ILLUMINATING INTERMITTENTLY WHILE DRIVING. THE CAR IS CURRENTLY AT THE DEALER FOR SERVICE AND THEY INDICATED IT WOULD TAKE SEVERAL DAYS TO CHECK OUT THE WIRING. AS AN ELECTRONIC ENGINEER I FIND THIS TO BE BIZARRE. THE CAR HAS LOW MILEAGE AND THE IMPLICATION OF THE DAYS TO CHECK RESPONSE IS THAT THERE IS A FRAYED WIRE SOMEWHERE AS THE CONNECTOR HAS CHECKED OUT ALL RIGHT. IF THE CAUSE IS A CHAFED WIRE THEN THERE IS A SERIOUS DESIGN FLAW COMPROMISING THE AIRBAG SAFETY FEATURE. *AK
