My 2008 Dodge Avenger airbag light has been on for a while, I believe that’s something that is defective and should be fixed by the manufacture. I’d called a dealership and was told it was not a recall and therefore not covered. When the wipers are turned on in the morning and then turned off, they continue to wipe even turned off. When I use the right blinker, the light in the dashboard dims seems like an electrical problem. I believe other things might be wrong but I’m not a mechanic. I would like my car to get inspected for safety. Thank you.

Air bag warning light and alarm on the dash board.
While driving my airbag light came on I checked for recalls it tells me there is no unrepaired recalls on my car but something’s not right
While I was driving the airbag light appeard on dashboard. I took the car to a dodge dealership and they confirmed that the airbag is defective on the driver side of the vehicle.

The vehicle was not taken to a dealer or independent mechanic for diagnostic testing or repairs. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 153,453.
My oil light came on and all it does is ding and there is no code showing up. The tire light keeps coming on amd off even though all the tires have the right amount of air pressure. The airbag light started coming on if I turn the car off and restart it does go off but sometimes it will turn back on
Tl* the contact owns a 2008 dodge avenger. While driving 30 MPH, the engine seized. On other occasions, the vehicle spontaneously accelerated and then dragged. Also, the driver's seat belt detached without warning and the air bag warning indicator illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who stated that the thermostat, clockspring, ECM manifold, throttle body, starter, battery, air fan, integrated power module, air conditioner, compressor, intake runner, steering wheel, and engine needed to be repaired. The vehicle was taken to brockton chrysler jeep dodge ram (241020 belmont st, brockton, ma 02301, (781) 961-1550), but was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was contacted and did not assist. The failure mileage was 36,000. The VIN was invalid.
In motion at random times my electronic throttle control light will flash at the same time I lose all power at any speed.....from coming into my driveway to highway speed 40-50mph to interstate speeds 65mph I was with my very I'll mom who has to travel with medical supplies and equipment and when she is in an accident, and left unable to get to her set destination, would suffer and did finally today ....we had to sit parked for longer that she medically is able to because of this problem with the electronic throttle control. It should be recalled & resolved before someone in my car, or myself, gets hurt or killed. I have had my avenger since february - march 2009 and today is december 2018 and it has happened for over 2 years to me just because I am still alive, don't mean it shouldn't be resolved. Again, this happened before I got to the mileage I am now and is still happening. My airbag light stays on and I don't know if it would even work......, if I was to impact from the loss of power that's caused from, the etc. Please recall & fix this.
Takata recall....air bag light keeps coming on the entire time driving...2. Sometimes my driving lights don't work properly and at the very same time my windshield washer won't work at all while driving. 3. Right side heat blows warm & passenger side blows cold wether parked or moving
My airbag light constantly turning on and off when I turn left or right my car never been wrecked before
Air bag light coming on and off intermittently. After looking online my car also has the same air bag light problem that have been listed numerous time (but for some odd reason my VIN isn't one of the recalled cars) online. While driving the car the air bag light will come on and go off continuously. Reading around I have found that the problem lies within the seat track sensor. This needs to be fixed on all cars and not just the ones chrysler deems to want to fix. This is a huge safety issue and could lead to some serious problems. The federal safety agency needs to make them do the right thing and fix all the cars, not the select few they (chrysler) deem to might be having problems.
I was driving and airbag light kept coming on and going off. Even after I turned my car off and back on it did the same thing.
