What owners wrote
My mother was involved in an accident, driving at 23 MPH in a chrysler minivan. She hit a telephone pole head on. The air bags deployed, although they did not touch my mother, she was wearing her seatbelt. When the knee airbag deployed however, the door covering it was what hit my mother in both her shins with the force of the air bag behind it! Although it did not break any bones, the impact caused extensive bleeding and edema under the skin.
Tl* the contact owns a 2005 dodge grand caravan. Every 5-10 minutes of driving the air bag light would illuminate on the instrument control panel. She believes that the air bag sensor has failed, which in a situation that warrants, may cause the air bags not to deploy. The dealer nor the manufacturer has been contacted. The current mileage was 93,000 . The failure mileage was 90,000.
