Airbag light keeps going on and off every other day or sometimes after month I feel unsafe driving my car also have grandkids in car and just worried. It does it when we're driving the car.
The was a recall issue fixed on my vehicle sometime last year where if I'm not mistaken, they went into my dash and/or removed the dash. Also the airbag light would go on and off. Since then, I've started to experience clicking/knocking where the airbag would be located and the air bags light is on and off very frequently as well. If I hit a bump on the side where the clicking occurs, the air bag light will come on. Not sure if the problem is related to the recall that was supposedly fixed in the past, however there was no clicking/knocking in the dashboard prior to the fix, only airbag light. I just don't want it to be an airbag issue or it deploys while I'm driving. Not able to put in an exact date because it happens everyday, so only entered today's date.
Currently having an ongoing issue with the ABS and traction control lights. The vehicle is in the shop for the second time in less than 2 months for the same lights. Twice I was driving down the road, the brake pedal would do something funny and the those lights would come on. The second time(currently and occurred on june 4th) the airbag warning light came on as well. The first time the ABS and traction light came on, I was told it was a ABS sensor, and I paid the dealership $250.00. This time less than 2 months later, the dealership is saying it is yet another sensor causing those lights to illuminate. And as far as the airbag goes, it's faulty wiring and that it needed another wiring harness. These repairs would cost me over $600.00. I have two friends that have the same vehicle and are having the exact same problems with the ABS and traction control lights. This seems to be a overall dodge issue as far as the chargers go.
Yesterday evening, the airbag warning light on my vehicle came on. Although the owners manual for my vehicle states that an airbag light needs to be checked immediately, this morning I was unable to obtain a service appointment despite my having contacted two local dodge dealerships. When I spoke with the service departments at both dealerships, I was told that the airbags on my vehicle may not be working. However, neither dealership would give me a a service appointment until next week. When I called fiat chrysler's customer department, I was told that my vehicle is subject to a safety recall due to a problem with its airbags. It was also acknowledged by the representative with whom I spoke that one or more of the airbags on my vehicle may not be working. In spite of this, and in spite of the recall, fiat chrysler told me that it is unable to get me a service appointment today to have the recall and airbag warning light issues addressed. Furthermore, I was told that if the airbag warning light problem is not related to the recall, I might have to pay to have the problem addressed if it is not covered by warranty. Although I asked to be given a rental car today to drive until my vehicle can be seen at a dealership, fiat chrysler would not authorize me to receive a rental car free of charge, and instead told me that I would have to rent a car using my own money and seek reimbursement. Fiat chrysler has told me that my complaint has been "escalated" and that I would received a return call from fiat chrysler "as soon as possible," despite which I have not received a return phone call. I now have an appointment with lucas dodge in mt. Holly, new jersey, but for today I am being forced to drive a vehicle that may have either defective airbags or no working airbags at all.
