What owners say
Purchased this car 3 yrs a go about 2 weeks ago the airbag light remains on constantly the car was parked but remains on constantly. The car has 107K I search for recall on this site and nothing even though there are over 485 complaints for the same issue. What does it take to get this NOTICED by MOPAR this is obviously a safety hazard. I bet if one of MOPAR's dependents was driving a 2013 Dodge Avenger they would get it fixed TODAY for free via a recall are you listening MOPAR??? I am sure you read these complaints. I will contact a Chrysler dealer in the area and see if they will do the right thing and fix this safety issue for free but after reading all these complaints looks like a losing battle. MOPAR is you want to have customers buy your cars do the right thing a get a recall out on this airbag issue.
The air bag light turns on and off while driving, along with a ding, indicating that there is a problem with the air bag.
When I start my car which is stationary the airbag light comes on & dings (like the seatbelt warning) it dings like 2 times. Then as I drive on city streets & highways, while the vehicle is in motion the light will come on & go off randomly. This doesn't happen every time the vehicle is stationary or in motion, however it does happen way more often than not. And I'm afraid for my safety & the safety of my passengers. What if the airbags do not deploy to help save anyone? I have read other customers complaining of this exact same thing happening with their vehilces, yet there is no recall? Such as the federal safety agency id # 11395069 incident date 01-31-2021 please look into this, and please advise of solution - resolution
The airbag light don't go off at all upon driving when accelerating the engine jerks very badly like there is some power lost going in with the engine I have to press hard for acceleration then it drives smooth then the car shuts off on my an my husband from traveling an when raining the wipers get stuck an moves like a robot so we have to pull over because we can't see due to electric problems with the wiper an this isn't safe at all for nobody car stalling out plus wipers get stuck an the move like a robot not safe
The airbag light keeps going on and off making a dinging noise. There is recalls for vehicles that are the same as mine yet for some reason mine is not recalled. This happens every time that I start the car and continues while I am driving.
Stability control light coming on while driving and when parked. Check engine light. Needed to replace the brake switch. Airbag light on. Diagnostic shows there is a short in airbag wiring and the airbag will not deploy if needed. This light comes on after starting car and stays on constantly.

Started the car one day and suddenly the check airbag light was on. Took it to a dodge dealership and was told that the active restraint headrest system was broken. No damage has been done to the seat/headrest nor the airbag system. The car has not been used unusually and it hasn't been in an accident.
The airbag light keeps going on and off. A few times I would undo my seatbelt and then secure it again and it would go off. But it comes back on again. Brakes: I have had all 4 brakes replaced and my brakes still squeak and they grind. Ive had this done twice and it does not fix the issue. It makes a rattling sound when going uphill. And squeeks and grinds when coming to a stop. This has been going on for months.
Takata recall, the air bag light comes on and off it mainly stays on, sometimes the seat belt if put on at a right time the air bag light will stay off but only for a few minutes.
Takata recall air bag light won't go off I'm afraid the airbag won't deploy
