| My vehicle is a 2005 chrysler town & country mini-van. the air bag warning light comes on frequently. in spring 2009, [?] i called chrysler headguarters, and requested they fix it. i talked to a chrysler rep. a few times, by phone, who required that i take it to the dealer for a diagnostic test, which i was to pay for. i did. but chrysler waved the diagnostic fee. they told me that chrysler was not going to cover the cost of the fix. as the recall at that time did not include missouri. only 20 some states in the n.e. area. they did however have the light turned off for a week or so, then it came back on. and on one 80 mile drive i made, this 'airbag' light came on and off around 100 times. it still comes on and off maybe not that frequently . i think chrysler should be required to take care of this, & the seat belt retainer issue, which is also intermittent. chrysler did try to fix the seatbelt retainer back in 2007 i think it was, but its not completely cured. | |||

| Summary: potential failure of emergency brake cable on 2005 chrysler town and country minivans due to incorrect routing of cable alongside rear suspension link. detail: i was doing some maintenance on our '05 t&c touring the other day when i noticed that the driver's side emergency brake cable is rubbing on one of the vertical rear suspension links. it has worn through the outer sheath of the cable, and the cable itself has been exposed. that cable is very, very stiff, and it looks like it was routed that way at the factory. i have no idea how i would re-route it to get it away from that suspension link. the problem appears to be a factory defect. anecdotal evidence in an inquiry at the chrysler minivan fan club website's forums would indicate other owners have encountered the same problem. you can view the thread without joining or becoming a member at http://forum.chryslerminivan.net/showthread.php?t=16879 | |||

| For the second time, our rear right wheel locked up. we had to have it towed to the dealer. when they fixed it, they said it became rusty from sitting. we always use the emergency brake to keep it from rolling and their advice was not to use the emergency brake anymore. *tr | |||
