| Description of the problem | Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6) driving in snow to work one morning, there came a squeal (alternator) then lights on dashboard on. After i made it to the highway which is plowed. The airbag light never came off. Took it in for repair and it was the passenger air bag. This year the same thing happened, the squeal and after a trip to repair a evg sensor the dealership informed me that i now have the driver's side and passenger side air bag sensors are corroded. I do have an extended warranty which does not cover this "environmental issue" and a complaint to dodge's 800# [xxx] declared it also an "environmental" issue not covered! [xxx] said that i should contact the road commission as they are the ones that put the salt on the road. I have not correct the problems as i don't believe it is an expense that i should pay for. I bought the van in 2005 with an extended warranty that was to cover all. I did some research on chrysler's past recalls on airbag sensor and believe that there is an issue with their products and the way they are installed. |
