NHTSA Complaint #10379731 — 2006 DODGE CARAVAN

I OWN A 2006 DODGE CARAVAN AND ABOUT A MONTH AGO I NOTICED A PROBLEM WHEN I USE MY TURN SIGNALS. SOMETIMES THEY WORK FINE, SOMETIMES NOT AT ALL, AND SOMETIMES THE OPPOSITE BLINKER WILL TURN ON (EX: I USE THE RIGHT BLINKER BUT THE LEFT BLINKER COME ON AND VISE VERSA). THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING PRETTY MUCH EVERYDAY SINCE IT FIRST STARTED. A COUPLE OF DAYS AGO WHEN I STARTED THE CAR I NOTICED THE AIRBAG LIGHT STAYED ON AND THE PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF LIGHT ON THE DASH STAYED LIT. THIS WAS VERY CONCERNING BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW IF THAT MEANS THE AIRBAG IS MALFUNCTIONING AND WON'T WORK IN AN ACCIDENT. I DECIDED TO DO SOME ONLINE SEARCHING FOR THESE TYPE OF PROBLEMS CONCERNING THE DODGE CARAVANS AND REALIZED THAT HUNDREDS AND HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE WERE EXPERIENCING THE SAME EXACT PROBLEMS I AM HAVING. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN BECAUSE THIS IS PRIMARILY MY WIFE'S CAR IN WHICH WE CARRY OUR 3 CHILDREN. FROM WHAT I HEAR FROM OTHER PEOPLE EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUES IS THAT THIS IS RELATED TO A WIND SHIELD WIPER PROBLEM AS WELL. THIS HAS NOT YET HAPPENED TO MY CAR BUT I AM SURE IT WILL PROBABLY START SOON. IF SO MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM. *TR
