The air bag light and sound are going off without any collision or accident type. Just randomly started going off. Airbags have never been deployed and goes off with or without weight on the seats.

This problem occurs when the vehicle is stationary and in motion. The vehicle will start to freak out by losing all of its gauges and controls, also the air bag, electrical, ABS and check engine will come on. There was no warning signs when this initially occurred. I took it to a dealer and they claimed the it was the tipm (total integrated power module) and its super common with dodge products. I was informed that there is a recall on other dodge products for this very issue but not the caliber. I do not understand this nor how if this is a problem on other models from the same year it can be covered under warranty but not for this car.

I was driving my car an my air bag light popped up on my dash . It beeps and goes off an on when I turn , I went to mechanic he says its something dodge needs to fix . I ran into a ditch avoiding hitting another car an my air bags didnt deploy I was going 55 . I think dodge needs to do a recall and fix this problem its several people complaining about this so evidently its a manufacturing problem .
