While in motion on hwy36 in butts county georgia my airbag warning light kept coming on and off.
The airbag light came on during driving the vehicle. After a few days I took it to a dodge service, they said the drivers active headrest & wiring harness was defective and needed to be replace for about $700, this could cause the airbag to not deploy if in an accident. I saw the recall for non-deployment of airbags - the federal safety agency campaign number: 13v282000 and wanted to know why this recall did not include the issue (appears to be the same as what I am experiencing) with my vehicle.

Air bag light illuminated. Vin not in recall range
6/9/15 car in motion city street refused to accelerate. Coasted to side. Dealer ship replaced tran pump& torque converter. 7/21 at stop light heard hard knock, stuck in 1st gear coasted to side. Dealership did tran overhaul. 7/29 again! On freeway complete shut down of engine and electrical and coasted off freeway ramp. Glad we did not get killed. Dealership said fixed issue. My son nor I will drive it any longer. Other issue was airbag light continuously on 2nd dealership said airbags may not work. Glad no accidents occurred.
This week, my airbag light began to blink intermittently, usually when accelerating. After a day, the light came to be on continuously. I got the vehicle to the shop on saturday and was informed the active headrest on the driver side had an open circuit and that the entire airbag system was disabled until we can replace the currently backordered part at a cost of ~$300 plus labor. This is a part that was covered under a recall for my make, model, and year for the active headrest, but my VIN does not seem to be included. At this time, I am driving over 100 miles a day with no airbags in a 3 year old car. It is not safe and it is a part that apparently should have been included in the recall. A part that is never used in a 3 year old car should not fail and definitely not do so in such a critical system. Chrysler told me they'd add my vehicle to a list for review and let me know if they'll cover the part or not. Meanwhile, my extended warranty won't cover it because they feel as I do that chrysler should.

I had just merged onto 69 heading home from school. It was around 930pm. I start to pick up speed to blend in with traffic. There was a three car accident that occurred so we all slammed on our brakes to avoid from hitting it. Unfortunately I hit the back of a flatbed tow truck going between 45-50mph. To my surprise my air bags did not deploy. Even though I had a recall on my car a few months back for the airbags not working right, so I took it to my dealership to have my recall fixed.
