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.
Takata recall I was in an accident and my air bags did not deploy nor did my seat belt restrain me. I had no idea my vehicle even had a recall on it.
Tl* the contact owns a 2014 dodge avenger. While the vehicle was stopped at a traffic light, the headrest deployed and the head restraint that was supposed to prevent whiplash in a rear end collision popped off the seat. The contact was not injured. The dealer (shottenkirk chrysler dodge jeep ram, 200 liberty blvd, canton, ga 30114, (678) 535-3417) was called and denied any knowledge of the failure even though there were past incidents reported on the internet. The manufacturer informed the contact to go to another dealer and pay the deductible since the vehicle was under an extended warranty, which could possibly cover the repairs. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was 78,000. *tt consumer stated corporate office is aware of the problem.
The passenger active headrest restraint popped open while the vehicle was stationary and the plastic pieces inside of it broke making it unable to reset.

The cause of the failure was not determined. The manufacturer and local dealer were not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 42,000.
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.
"takata recall" I got a letter for a safety recall on my 2014 dodge avenger sxt for safety recall #61/ the federal safety agency 16v‑668 - occupant restraint controller. Everything was going fine until june 1st when all sudden when driving my air bag icon would flash on and off. Tried bring it back to local dealership that had fixed the recall saying something was wrong and that I had just brought the car in not long ago for a recall. They looked it up and seen that I was just in but wouldn't just look at car for the issue.
This vehicle had a safety recall of s61. Work was performed and then aur bag light and signal came on. We need help getting this fixed. This light and air bag signal turned on immediately while exiting the dodge dealership. I have 2 witness stating light was not on nor warning alarm. Could this module have a defect.

I was not notified of this recall! I logged onto my credit karma (today 3/14/2018) and they notified me that 3 recalls were issued for this vehicle back in 2016. Additionally, my husband was in an accident on 11/29/2017 and the air bags did not deploy. He was a tboned from someone who ran a stop sign and is suffering from neck and back issues caused from this accident.
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.

Takata recall!! This is a company vehicle that has been sitting since november 2016!! Due to insurance purposes and safety we have not allowed anyone to drive this vehicle. We have a case with fca but the time it is taking to remedy this problem is ridiculous.
Tl* takata recall. The contact owns a 2014 dodge avenger.

Takata recall. Also I would like the brakes and or the rotors be investiagated as well. I had to have the brakes repaired 3x times since 2016 for the same reason with in 3to 4 months of each other and the rotor replaced . I saw that I am not the only one have this complaint as well as the roofing material is coming off and the car seems to be having a slight electrical issue where we lose power.
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.
