| Description of the problem | I bought a 2005 dodge caravan sxt in october of 2007 with 50,000 miles on it. The next week the airbag light started coming on at random when driving at slow speeds (< 20) and then would go out. I called the dealer and they said they could not diagnose it because it was occurring on a random basis. The light stopped coming on a few weeks later and did not come on again until last week. Now it is coming on frequently and staying on at highway speeds. Coincidentally, the weather warmed from the 40's to the upper 70's just before the light started coming on again. I checked the dodge website for recalls but it showed no outstanding recalls for my vin. |
