2005 chrysler mini-van airbag light came on and will not reset. Upon review NHTSA had called for a recall due to corrosion to sensors from road salt. Chrysler then issued a recall, but only for a limited number vehicles. We then scheduled a visit to the dealership they rejected this van as not being under recall. Argued that after the worse year for salt usage, in ohio would they at least look to see if the van had the "same" problem as those recalled.
