Airbag warning light by model year
What owners say
Ever since I bought the car from the dealership, the air bag light turns off and on while driving, minutes apart from each other. Never had my airbags deployed fortunately.
The airbag light keep coming on ill get it checked and a day later it pops back on.
Tl* the contact owns a 2014 dodge avenger. While the vehicle was being repaired for an unknown issue, the orc sensor and air bag indicators were illuminated. The contact stated that the orc sensor was replaced twice and the headrest air bag also needed to be replaced. Bergstrom chrysler of kaukanuna (2929 lawe street, kaukauna, wi 54130) replaced the orc sensor a second time because they believed it was the source of the failure. The contact stated that none of the air bags were functional and the air bag warning indicator illuminated again. The manufacturer stated that they could not assist and advised the contact to keep the receipts for possible reimbursement if a recall was issued. The failure mileage was 49,400.
The airbag light kept flashing on and off and eventually has stayed on. There's a connector with two wires that have separated due to constant in and out of the vehicle as used for. There are no current active airbags in the driver or passenger side seats due to this reason. Labor and part costs are more than income can handle; this is a safety issue that needs fixed.
Air bag warning light is on, I check on recalls and this car has recalls on air bags, I reserch on internet and the cable that connects the air bag on the back of the seats has a tensioner that pulls the cable and it is getting broken.
Airbag light is popping on while driving.
Head rest has separated while not driving. Since the time it separated the airbag light in my car will not go off. I have not been able to reset it on my own and seems that it was not part of a recall that was an airbag issue with the dodge avenger identified in 2016. My car has not been in an accident, in good condition, but I have an airbag light on constantly and my headrest is "popped". This is not safe to have happening in ordinary driving conditions. This part should be recalled by dodge. There are many complaints about this all over the internet for 2014 avengers. People could get hurt. I have not had the part repaired by dodge, but have been quoted upwards of $500 to fix a headrest! The headrest is what is setting my airbag light off and not knowing if my passenger will be protected is not comforting. Dodge needs to fix this issue. It was an issue for 2010-2013 models and that is no different for the 2014 models either.
Tl* the contact owns a 2014 dodge avenger. The contact received a recall notice for the air bags. The vehicle was taken to sumter chrysler dodge jeep ram (2662 broad st, sumter, sc 29150) where it was repaired per the unknown the federal safety agency campaign; however, the air bag warning indicator remained illuminated. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer for further diagnostic testing and repairs. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The VIN tool found no recalls listed for the vehicle. The recall details were not provided. The failure mileage was unknown.
It is the airbags but I'm not sure if it's considered the takata recall. But I've received two to three different letters about the recall and I've gone to the dealership numerous times. Everytime they say they don't have the parts to fix and now the airbag light keeps going on and off. I called to schedule an appointment for one of the two recalls and not they are saying there is no record of a recall for my car.
Tl* takata recall. The contact owns a 2014 dodge avenger. The contact received notification of the federal safety agency campaign number: 16v668000 (seat belts, air bags) however, the part to do the repair was unavailable. The contact stated that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The dealer was contacted (security dodge in amityville, ny) where it was confirmed that the parts were not available for the recall remedy. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue and was not able to confirm when the parts were to become available. The contact stated that the air bag indicator illuminated prior to receiving the recall notice. While in traffic, the contact's vehicle was rear ended by another vehicle. The crash caused the contact's vehicle to crash into a guard rail. A police report was filed and there were no injuries. The contact stated that the air bags did not deploy. The failure mileage was approximately 50,000. Vin tool confirms parts not available.
Takata recall. While I'm told my airbag is takata I'm now told it is "s61". In any case, today my airbag light came on while driving locally in town and highway; on and off infrequently. I called dodge and spoke to a "glenn" who gave me case # 32033318 for the airbag. However, he said the "airbag light" is a separate issue, case # 32033352. He called a local dealer "fields dodge in sanford, fl" after telling me dodge will set up a diagnosis at no charge, and put me on line with "tom" at "fields dodge." he said there would be a $89.95 diagnostic charge plus whatever they find. I told him what "glenn" told me and he told me "glenn" was only a call center employee and was mistaken. I told "tom" I would call dodge back. I called and spoke to a "quarneka" this time who reviewed the notes and could not find "glenn" telling me no charge for the diagnosis to me. I asked "glenn", "quarneka" and "tom" what the risk is of driving with the light on and none had an answer. My question to all, unanswered, is that "isn't it strange my 2014 dodge avenger has a known airbag issue and all of a sudden the airbag light comes on for the first time and there is no relation? What a dodge and dealer ripoff. We just made a 4,000 road trip from florida to new england and back with no issues.
