When it comes to hauling around piles of diaper bags and coolers full of snacks, you could do worse than the 2004 Town & Country. Especially when you compare it to the 2005.

The airbag it's been turning off and on constantly. I hadn't have any type of accident at all but now every time I'm driving on the street and the highway the airbag light turns on and stays on for most part of my driving. This is the only car I have and I drive all the time the light will turn on mostly while I'm driving and sometimes while it's park the light stays

After impact with a high curb in a parking lot doing approximately 5 miles per hour, both front air bags deployed. This seems to be an issue in a 2005 recall by Chrysler but not the 2004. This is definitely a safety issue and should be dealt with immediately.

I got the Town and country Chrysler 2004, and the air bag lights started to blink on and off after a year, in 2005 the lights were permanently on. I had a crash in 2009 not big enough to make the air bag work anyway the air bags red light were on, then the dealer gave the data of how long the air bag were not working, it seems that it had the same problem as the air bags recall 1998/2002. I had several other problems in fixing this car but I do want to know if the 2004 made is included in the recall. I don't want to wait for a big accident to realize that the air bags have to be recall and fix it.

June 24,2009 the airbag on my 2004 Caravan -decided to explode. I was not in an accident (also it was the passenger side air bag). I was leaving my house going maybe 10mph all of a sudden I smelled something like rubber burning, right after that the air bag exploded. I called Chrysler and they had the care investigated. They found that the computer for the air bag was defaulted. They would not fix my car because I didn't have a warranty anymore. They also told me that they disconnected the driver side one. So right now I am driving a car with no protection.

1) 2004 Chrysler Town and country minivan was the third car in a six car crash. It was stopped at a light behind other vehicles and in front of a red Mercedes when a Nissan sedan slammed into the rear of the line of cars without ever applying its brakes. 2) a & B. front driver and passenger airbags failed to deploy when the T&C slammed into the Cadillac immediately in front of it sending that car into the two cars further up the line. C. the back of the occupied second row captain's chair broke sending its occupant backwards into an occupant of the third row seat. Four of the five septagenarians in the T&C were taken to the hospital with injuries. The driver's head smashed into the roof of the vehicle and his left arm was thrown violently into the door. My father, the driver, says he was knocked unconscious. He could not see out of his left eye for several days. The car was a total loss. I flew from ca to tx and drove his rv to my sister's home in va so she could look after mom and dad. They and their rv buddies cut short their planned trip and all three rvs returned to va this week. Charlie, arlene, and betty are receiving medical attention for their injuries. 3) the car was a total loss. Therefore, it will be replaced with a safer vehicle. However, the NHTSA shows two four star and two five star ratings for this vehicle.

: the contact stated without incident, the airbag light illuminates intermittently. Also, the turn signals would not cancel. The dealership determined the clock spring needs to be replaced. The turn signal switch was replaced to repair the turn signals.

While driving at any speed, the consumer adjusted the seat and the SRS light appeared on the dashboard. The driver was able to maintain control of the vehicle and drove it to the dealer for inspection. The mechanic was unable to duplicate the problem at this time.
