Problems with 2002 Dodge Grand Caravan AIR BAGS

While driving the vehicle's air bag light illuminated indicating there was a problem with the air bag. the vehicle was taken to the dealer who indicated that the air bags may not deploy in an accident. *ts

The air bags inadvertently deployed while driving causing minor injury to the driver and passenger. the dealer has repaired the vehicle. please provide additional information.*jb

First incident was the airbag light came on intermittently. the dealer repaired it last week. today, the entire instrument panel functioned intermittently. dealer was called and another repair date was set.*ak

The air bag light went on/off intermittently. the van had 40k highway miles; this is just a few k miles shy of the warranty. after checking this website i see this is an on-going problem. what does it take to get a recall here? remember these vans are used to transport children and an early or late failure of these air bags could be disasterous. my family will get the $200 back it cost to replace the "clockspring" but i hope it does not take a death or five.*ak
