Open-data reference.
NHTSA Complaint about AIR BAGS:FRONTAL:SENSOR/CONTROL MODULE filed May 4, 2010
NHTSA complaint #785351 (ODI reference 10328789) concerns a 2006 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY and was filed on May 4, 2010. The owner reports the failure occurred on April 9, 2009. The vehicle had 75,000 miles on the odometer at the time of the incident. The report was geocoded to Michigan based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as air bags:frontal:sensor/control module, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.
The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: no, fire: no, injuries: 0, fatalities: 0. No crash, fire, or fatality was associated with this report, which places it in the early-warning stream rather than the priority-review stream. Because a VIN was supplied, this complaint is tied to a specific vehicle and not just a model-year cohort.
Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY cohort independently describe similar air bags:frontal:sensor/control module failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data. Related filings for the same vehicle and component appear below, and the detail page for the full 2006 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
