2011 Dodge Challenger: airbag warning light

Filed Dec 2, 2021 · Airbags · CA

I had the dealership fix a recall (N9C07) for the passenger seat wiring harness connector for the passenger side airbag a while back. My airbag warning lamp turned on recently and my mechanic told me it was that same issue that the recall was supposed to fix. I was told by the dealer that since this was replaced once already, they refused to replace it again. This is a major safety concern if the passenger side airbag does not deploy correctly. It is outrageous that their part is malfunctioning at no fault of my own and they refuse to fix it.

On april 6, 2019, while I was driving, my airbag light came on and stayed solid red, then it would go off and on with chiming sound. Because my 2011 challenger is not in recall, dealer will charge unwarranted cost.

Takata recall. My airbag light randomly turns on and off. At times while driving, the light flashes on and off and it continuously beeps. Its nerve wrecking while I'm driving on local roads and even more when friving on the highway; has me very concerned. It started march 23rd and since then, its been doing it randomly.

Air bags go on and off randomly as described in the federal safety agency #13v118000. Chrysler says my car is not included in that recall and refuse to even look at it. Every time I hit a bump my airbag light comes on or goes off. Most of the time my airbags do not work.

The wires/connector for the front passenger side airbag sensor are located under the front passenger side seat. However, the wires and connection fitting easily become either disconnected or fouled with grime (as reported by the dealer) so as to cause the system to take the passenger side airbag offline. When this happens and a person is sitting in the seat, it flashes the warning light on the dash that the airbag is not operable. This has happened and been repaired at least twice before if not three times, and the airbag warning light came on yet gain this morning. I have had repairs on this same system alone twice since november 2015, and here we have yet a third failure of the exact same system, exact same part, exact some coupler, within 6 or 7 months. I asked last time they fixed it that they use a heat gun and shrink wrap on the fitting to prevent this happening again and apparently they did not. Of course, dodge should not have designed a critical safety component in a way that allows simple dust or grime to get into it and foul the system, rendering an airbag inoperable. Oh and I have less than 45,000 miles on this vehicle.

From the time I start up my vehicle, until the time I turn the vehicle off, the airbag light keeps chiming and turns on and off and doesn't stop. The vehicle was at the dealership when this happened but the dodge service tech was unable to scan the vehicle with his diagnostic tool due to the light not staying on. I noticed a recall for certain 2011-2012 dodge challengers built between april 11, 2011 through december 14, 2011 regarding the "seat wiring harness connectors" (recall #n07/ the federal safety agency 13v‑118). I contacted the fca recall center for chrysler/ dodge and they informed me that my vehicle doesn't qualify for the recall because my challenger was built on march 23, 2011. My challenger was built two weeks before the "affected" build dates and have the same exact connectors specified in the recall notice. Why wouldn't my vehicle's seat wiring harness connectors be considered defective?? I work as a federal law enforcement officer and am currently driving to and from work to defend the united states of america from any and all threats but if I got into an accident, I'm not safe in my own vehicle, which was manufactured in the USA.

After purchasing the 2011 dodge challenger in december 2015 the car seat belt senor has been repaired; now in january 2016 the airbag light indicator stays on after being in motion for 15 minutes. Has both the recalls been properly repaired?

Air bag light continues to come on and off, signaling my air bags are not working when the light is on. I found online that chrysler recalled 2011-2013 dodge challengers in 2013 for this exact issue, however when I brought my car to a dodge dealer, they say my VIN is not in the system for a recall. Because it's not in the system as a recall, I am to pay out of pocket? This is a serious safety issue that could cause a fatality if I am in a wreck while the light is on. Chrysler should honor their consumers' safety and handle this before something happens. I found on forums that many challenger owners have had the same experience. See link below to recall info.

The air bag light on my 2011 challenger keeps coming on for no reason . I found on line that they were being recalled for faulty wiring connecters on the passenger and driver side seat air bags . I contacted the dealer and they told me I had to wait for a recall notice and I have not gotten one . I contacted chrysler and they tell me to get it fix and pay for it my self because the recall is VIN specific . If they no there is a problem with faulty parts ,I think they should have to take care of it no charge.
