I have major electrical issues with my van that involves several components including my airbags. While driving down the road the wipers operate uncontrolably several warning lights come on including the airbag light. The blind spot indicators and park assist and traction control ABS is all unavailable at the time of it acting up. I have taken it to several dealerships all Chrysler and none of them can diagnose the issue. The vehicle acts up no matter what it is doing whether it is driving down the road or stationary. This problem has been going on since it had 41,000 miles on it and sisnce I purchased it used with 41,000 miles on it. I have talked with Chrysler headquarters and they will not respond to me by email or phone call at this time. They initially talked to me and said they would be of no financial assistance to me because the factory warranty is up, and not they will not respond to my calls or emails.
Clock spring disconnected drivers airbag. Air bag light has been on for some time even the last lime it was at the dealer, when the cruise control stopped working found the clock spring has broken and disconnected drivers airbag. Internet shows this is a very common problem.
Air bag light comes on randomly. Even after service, air bag light remains unpedictable. This is a serious safety issue that has been reported by many owners which Chrysler needs to resolve asap.

My 2013 Town and country limited with 21403 miles air bag warning light comes on, goes off and repeats this continuously as I am driving. It will cost me $125 for a diagnosis. Contacted Chrysler, they are going to work with me after the diagnosis is completed.
My airbag light comes on and off continually when I am driving my vehicle. This issue has occurred since the vehicle was purchased. I believe if this issue continues it may cause the airbag not to deploy or to deploy in error. This is very concerning. Dealership has failed to repair this issues after 3 attempts. The vehicle is on a street or highway when issue occurs.
While driving down the road the passenger head restraint came up and hit my son in the back of his head. Not sure if it is part of the airbag system or the anti-whiplash system. Fortunately he was not seriously hurt. Cannot get the head restraint back in place
Seat belt warning light on instrument panel was continuously illuminated. First instance required replacement of the driver side air bag thorax with an open circuit to the air bag module (09/21/2016). Second incident also required replacement of the passenger side thorax which also had an open circuit to the air bag module (02/24/2017). Incidents occurred any time the engine ran and on any type of roadway09 surface.
The tipm is junk. I have taken 3 places to be checked and the fix is $1000 for a vehicle that has 37,400 miles on it. It started after the original 36,000 miles of course. It will randomly not start in the mornings or after it sits for 8 hours. It's awful. It's become a vehicle that you can't trust.
My husband was driving down a straight road and all the air bags on the passenger side of the van deployed for no apparent reason. Police came to the scene and made an incident report which notes that there is no damage to the outside of the vehicle and did not find any reason why the air bags should have deployed.
While in motion on a highway everything shut down. No spedometer, no tv, no windows, no blinkers, no ac, no brake lights, no headlights. Everything that was electrical was off. The engine was still running. All warning lights were on the dash and it also said no bus,
The seat belt warning light came while driving the car. I took it to a Chrysler service center and they told me a sensor had gone out and none of the air bags would operate if in an accident. The cost to replace this part will cost me $600

Steering wheel controls including the horn and possibly the steering wheel air bag are intermittent. >>so far on three separate occasions while stopped & driving all electrical parts of the steering wheel have just quit for a day or two and then for no reason begin working again. Unfortunately every time it goes dead and we arrange to take it in for service it starts working and the dealer says they can't do anything unless it is completely broken and not intermittent. Since Chrysler minivans have been recalled in the past for this "clock spring" problem, Chrysler should authorize replacement of this known safety defect (no horn or airbag intermittently with out warning) without being required to do so by the government. I guess I could authorize the dealer to replace the known intermittent clock spring at my own expense and then hope that sooner or latter the recall is expanded to include the 2013 model year. Or I can hope it quits long enough to be taken to the dealer with dead electrical parts on the steering wheel before my 36 month/36,000 mile warranty runs out this June. I attempted to turn the wheel while stopped and while driving to both get it working again when not working and also to get it go go dead again at the dealer when it was working but the intermittent problem does no seem to have any pattern of be effected by steering wheel movement. The third time it quite was Saturday night 9 Jan 2016 and began working on Monday 11 Jan 2016 on the way to the dealer.

Driver and front passenger air bags(seat headrests) exploded and smacked with significant force into the back of driver and front passenger heads causing severe headaches. No accident, no braking, just driving at 50 mph. We have only 18000 miles on our vehicle. When we took it to the local Chrysler dealer, and after they did some research for approximately an 1 1/2 hours, they had no idea what had caused both headrests to explode but they could not just be relocked because they were severely damaged and we could not drive the car. They told us that we would be without our vehicle for at least three weeks. Told us we would have to get a rental car. Please confirm other incidents of this nature and let us know what repairs will be done and if the car will be safe to drive following the repairs.
