2006 Dodge GRAND CARAVAN Air Bags Frontal Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	727633
Internal NHTSA #	10273986
Manufacurer	CHRYSLER LLC
Brand	DODGE
Model	GRAND CARAVAN
Model Year	2006
File date	01/01/08
Component	AIR BAGS:FRONTAL
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Front passenger seat weight sensor. The passenger airbag off light, which lights up during car start-up sequence, does not light when seat is empty. Brought into royal gate dodge, ballwin mo for service. Was told by the service manager the light did not illuminate by design and that it would only illuminate when there was weight (approx 10lbs - 40lbs) in the seat. No parts were replaced, no action taken by dealer to correct situation, no sensor check was accomplished. The defective sensor, which indicates there is sufficient weight in the seat to fire airbag, can cause serious consequences including the death. At the very least the bag would fire unnecessarily causing extensive repair costs to replace the bag and dash (likely a desirable result for the dealer). More importantly, if a smaller person or child is sitting in seat, serious injury could result. Specific date reported can be obtained from dealer. Date below very approximate.
