| Description of the problem | 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. |
