Description of the problem	We purchased our 2005 dodge grand caravan new and the airbag light just started coming on and off this winter (2009-2010). Now the airbag light stays on all of the time. I took it to an independent shop to have them run the diagnostics on the light. The code came back as a bad lf airbag sensor and from there i started searching on the internet. I found that there was a major recall on 312,442 dodge caravans for this exact problem (corrosion on sensor). I called dodge to find out if our van was included in the recall. They informed me that it was not included in the recall and basically said i was out of luck but to save my receipts for the repair in case it was to ever be included in the recall. As of now i have not replaced the sensor because i feel this is a known safety problem and should be taken care of by dodge. As of now our airbags are not operating at all because the repair is quite costly and i am frustrated to think that dodge knows they are putting lives in danger but obviously only recalled a limited number of units.
