2010 Dodge Avenger Air Bags & Restraints Problems

Every time I start my car, the airbag lights stays on. It will not turn off.

Airbag lights turns on and off and I think it's a manufacturer problem with the harness behind or under the seat. I read it's a common problem.

A DASHBOARD WARNING LIGHT IS ON THAT INDICATES A PROBLEM WITH THE FRONT AIR BAGS. I HAVE A 2010 DODGE AVENGER. MY MECHANIC RECENTLY ADVISED ME TO GET THIS CHECKED OUT AS A RECALL.

OCCUPANT RESTRAINT CONTROLLER

THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE AIRBAG SYSTEM, WHICH I HAVE TAKEN TO GET FIXED. THERE IS A AIRBAG LIGHT NOW FLASHING ON AND OFF AND I AM TOO AFRAID TO DRIVE IT. WHEN I ASKED ABOUT THE DEALERSHIP SHIP SHEWED ME AWAY AND SAID MAYBE IT'S THE WIRING, WELL HELL I DIDN'T WIRE IT MYSELF. I WANT IT NOTED I CALLED ABOUT THIS ISSUE ALSO REPORTED IT WAS TOLD IT'S NOT PART OF THE RECALL. SO I GUESS THEY WAIT FOR SOMETHING TO HAPPEN FIRST, THEN RECALL IT?!?
