2008 Chrysler Aspen air bags problems

“My Air bag light will not go out. Not sure what the problem is, cleaned all contracts in the connectors and seat belts and connectors under the seats. Check for a blown fuse. Could not find any bad fuses.”

“VEHICLE IN MOTION, AIR BAG LIGHT COMES ON WHILE DRIVING, JUST STARTED A ABOUT 5 MONTHS AGO AND ONLY A FEW TIMES IN THE BEGINNING, NOW IT HAPPENS MORE OFTEN, LIGHT WILL GO OFF THEN A DING SOUND FOR WARNING LIGHT IS ON . OTHERS MAY HAVE HAD A RECALL BUT MINE DIDN'T COME UP AS ANY RECALLS WITH MY VIN . BUT IS THIS A START TO A PROBLEM? PLEASE RESPOND WITH AN ANSWER TO THAT QUESTION, TY”

“TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 CHRYSLER ASPEN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER ENTERING THE VEHICLE, IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THE MIDDLE CLIP COVERING THE AIR BAG ASSEMBLY ON THE STEERING WHEEL WAS DEFORMED. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. AN UNKNOWN DEALER AND THE MANUFACTURER WERE NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 189,000.”

“TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 CHRYSLER ASPEN. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE BALL JOINT DETACHED AND THE CONTACT CRASHED INTO A TREE. THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. THERE WERE NO INJURIES AND A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 1,000.”

“2008 CHRYSLER ASPEN. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG INFLATOR. *LD THE CONSUMER STATED THE LOCAL DEALER HAD NOT RECEIVED THE PARTS NECESSARY TO PERFORM THE RECALL ON THE VEHICLE. UPDATED 05/03/2017*JS”

“CURRENTLY MY VEHICLE'S AIR BAGS ARE ON A RECALL AND I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THEY ONLY HAVE A FIX FOR THE DRIVERS SIDE, NOT THE PASSENGER SIDE. WHEN CALLING CHRYSLER TO ASK WHAT ARE WE SUPPOSED TO DO ABOUT THIS. WE WERE TOLD TO 1, NOT DRIVE THE VEHICLE OR 2 NOT TO LET ANYONE SIT IN THE PASSENGER SIDE. THAT METAL SHRAPNEL COULD SERIOUSLY INJURE OR KILL SOMEONE IF WE WERE IN AN ACCIDENT. SERIOUSLY!!!! WE HAVE CONTACTED CHRYSLER SEVERAL TIMES ASKING WHY THEY ARE NOT FIXING THIS OR RECALLING THE VEHICLE BEFORE SERIOUS INJURIES OCCUR. THE BEST THEY COULD DO WAS GIVE US A CODE TO PURCHASE A NEW VEHICLE AT COST BUT GUESS WHAT. THERE IS NO DEALERSHIP THAT WILL TAKE MY CURRENT VEHICLE WITH A RECALL THAT CAN NOT BE FIXED AND RESALE IT. SO PRETTY MUCH I AM STUCK IN A LOAN WITH A VEHICLE THAT COULD INJURE OR KILL MYSELF, KIDS, HUSBAND, ETC. THIS SHOULD BE ILLEGAL FOR CHRYSLER TO DO!!”
