Airbag light is on.

On 4/22/22 a lady hit my van so hard and no air bags deploy. I hit my head on the steering wheel and it never came out. No air bags in my van came out. Also the seal belts didn't hold anyone into place.

I WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT ON JUNE 15TH, 2019. I HIT A HIGHWAY CONCRETE MEDIAN DIVIDER HEAD ON AT APPROXIMATELY 60MPH. THE DRIVER, PASSENGER OR SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY.

RED LIGHT FOR FRONT AIR BAG

TAKATA RECALL. THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON AND WILL NOT TURN OFF, THE HORN DOES NOT WORK AND THE CRUISE CONTROL DOES NOT WORK. I WAS TOLD IT WAS THE CLOCK SPRING WHICH IS RECALLED ON ALL OTHER VEHICLES BUT DOES NOT SHOW UP ON MINE. THIS NEEDS TO BE CHANGED.

TAKATA RECALL - DOES THIS VEHICLE HAVE RECALLED TAKATA INFLATORS?

ACCORDING TO THE DEALERSHIP (WITHNELL DODGE, IN SALEM, OR) THERE ARE NO OPEN RECALLS FOR MY VEHICLE. EXCEPT THE AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON AND OFF ALL THE TIME, AND BASED ON MY RESEARCH, THERE USED TO BE A RECALL FOR THE AIRBAG MODULE: RECALL NUMBER: 16V047000 / RECALL DATE: 01/29/2016 / COMPONENT: AIR BAGS:FRONTAL. I HAVE OWNED THIS VEHICLE SINCE 2009, AND AS FAR AS I KNOW, THE AIRBAG CONTROL UNIT HAS NEVER BEEN REPLACED AS IT STATES IN THE RECALL. I ASKED THE DEALERSHIP TO CHECK AND CONFIRM THE AIRBAG CONTROL HAS BEEN REPLACED, BUT THEY REFUSED UNLESS I WAS WILLING TO PAY FOR THEM TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM IS STILL THERE, AND I DON'T BELIEVE THIS RECALL HAS BEEN PERFORMED EVEN THOUGH THE VEHICLE RECORD SHOWS THERE IS NO OPEN RECALLS. I BELIEVE MY VEHICLE HAS THE PROBLEM LISTED IN THE RECALL, AND I WOULD LIKE FOR DODGE TO REPAIR (FREE OF CHARGE) AS STATED IN THE RECALL.

CAR HAS HAD AN ACTIVE RECALL ON IT FOR TWO YEARS. DEALER WAS MADE AWARE, BUT HAS YET TO MAKE ANY CHANGES TO THE VEHICLE. THANKFULLY, I HAVE NOT HAD ANY MAJOR ACCIDENTS THESE LAST TWO YEARS.

I RECENTLY PURCHASED A 2008 DODGE CARAVAN. I NEEDED AN INSPECTION STICKER AND COME TO FIND OUT THE HORN WOULDN'T BLOW. HAD A MECHANIC LOOK AT IT AND HE SAID THE COIL IN THE STEERING WAS BAD WHICH ALSO OPERATES THE VEHICLES DRIVER AIRBAG. IT WILL NOT DEPLOY IF I WERE TO BE IN A CRASH. I WOULD THINK THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL BEING THAT THE MECHANIC SAID IT IS COMMON. THIS IS PRICY TO FIX. AFTER THE PART AND LABOR IT WILL COST ME $650.00!..UPDATED 07-08-15 *BF UPDATED 9/15/2015 *JS

WE HAVE NOT HAD AN ISSUE YET. HOWEVER OUR AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT IS CONSTANTLY COMING ON AND WE HAVE HAD IT CHECKED 3-4 TIMES AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE VAN. WE ALSO HAVE A SAFETY RECALL THAT HAS BEEN IN EFFECT SINCE 2014 AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THE PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE AND IN FACT THEY ARE NOT EVEN BEING MANUFACTURED YET. WE WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHY CHRYSLER IS NOT TAKING THIS SERIOUSLY. WE COULD GET INTO AN ACCIDENT AND OUR AIR BAGS AND RESTRAINT SYSTEM COULD FAIL. WHAT CAN WE DO? *TR

I HAVE AN AIRBAG LIGHT, NO HORN AND CRUISE CONTROL WHICH WHILE SEARCHING SEEMS TO BE A CLOCK SPRING IN THE STEERING COLUMN. DODGE SAYS ITS NOT COVERED BY A RECALL OR WARRANTY, BUT THEY HAVE HAD OTHER YEARS AFFECTED WITH A RECALL, BUT THEY ARE NOT DOING MUCH TO REPLACE THIS.
