THE AIRBAG WARNING LAMP CAME ON INTERMITTENTLY AT FIRST OVER THE COURSE OF A WEEK OR SO THEN IT STAYED ON SOLID. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER FOR SERVICE WHILE UNDER WARRANTY AND THEY REPLACED THE RIGHT FRONT AIRBAG SENSOR WITHOUT COST UNDER WARRANTY WHICH FIXED THE PROBLEM. THE REASON I'M FILING THIS COMPLAINT IS BECAUSE THE SENSOR RECALL (ID # 07V192000) ONLY COVERS VEHICLES WITH BUILD DATES BETWEEN APR 24, 2003 AND FEB 2, 2005. MY VEHICLE, WHICH HAS A "DATE OF MFR" OF 07/05, IS NOT COVERED BY THIS RECALL. MY CONCERN IS THAT IF THE PROBLEM WITH MY VEHICLE IS NOT JUST A RANDOM OCCURRENCE CHRYSLER MAY HAVE UNDERESTIMATED THE NUMBER OF VEHICLES POTENTIALLY IMPACTED BY THE RECALL. *TR

I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THERE WAS A LEAK IN THE STEERING GEAR ASSEMBLY AND THAT IT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED.

AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON. BEING A SCHOOL VEHICLE IT PLACES THE VAN OUT OF SERVICE. I CONTACTED THE DEALER TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM AND FOUND OUT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AND SINCE THE VAN HAS 51000 MILES ON IT THE WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED.

AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT WOULD COME ON AND OFF INTERMITTENTLY AND THAN STAY ON UNTIL ENGINE WAS TURNED OFF. THIS WOULD HAPPEN EACH TIME THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN THE DAY PRIOR SERVICE.

I ASK THE SERVICE ADVISOR IF IT WOULD HAVE CAUSED A PROBLEM WITH THE AIR BAGS TO WORK PROPERLY AND WAS TOLD THAT IT COULD HAVE CAUSED A MALFUNCTION OF EITHER NOT WORKING WHEN NEEDED OR PREMATURELY INFLATING. *NM
