The check air bag light has come on in the dash back in the fall of 2024. I took it to Tacoma Dodge in Tacoma Washington to have it repaired on October 11,2024. It was determined that the ORC module was at fault and the part was ordered. I took the vehicle back on October 30, 2024, to have the part installed. I had to bring the vehicle back to Tacoma Dodge on November 5, 2025 because the air bag light had come back on. It was determined that the OCM module (seat weight sensor) was bad. I was notified on December 11, 2025, by Tacoma Dodge that the part needed was no longer available. I bought the car new in October of 20215, and it currently has 52712 miles on it. How can a manufacturer discontinue a part that is part of the SRS?

What owners say
The contact owns a 2013 Dodge Dart. The contact stated that the passenger’s side air bag warning light was illuminated while driving. The contact stated that after the first failure, the vehicle was taken to the dealer where the failure was unable to be determined. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure had continued intermittently over the years; however, the warning light had remained illuminated while driving. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed the contact to take the vehicle to a dealer for diagnostic testing. The manufacturer stated that the vehicle was not included in a recall. The approximate failure mileage was 30,000.
When a passenger is in the car, the air bag light and an audible alert constantly go off while driving. Took it to the dealership and they say this: "it's a seat belt buckle sensor circuit causing orc. light wires are connected and not damaged" To me, the words "not damaged" indicate that this is not our fault. Of course we're not going to let our daughter continue to drive the car like this, but I feel like $522.79, which is what they're charging, in addition to a $99 misc. fee that I don't know what is, is WAY too much for something that I thought would be considered a safety issue.
Airbags. The light did not come on upon start up of vehicle. Electrical. My radio, display on dashboard and Bluetooth would blink off and on. I think that my sons safety and mine were at risk because of the malfunctioning of the airbags if an accident would have occurred they wouldn't deploy. I took it into the dealer, but they didn't seem concerned. They fixed some things and it costs around $3500. The only thing I noticed was the flashing off and on of the dashboard display which shows your speed and mileage on the vehicle and my airbag light did not display at all. My VIN number was covered up with a sticker on the dashboard of my vehicle as well and the one on the drivers door was missing. My car was stolen from Ohio and I found it in Oregon at Capitol Toyota. Dodge Dart 2016.
The contact owns a 2015 Dodge Dart. The contact stated while driving at 70 MPH, the radio engaged on its own and the vehicle lost power steering. Several warning lights such as the brake system light, the battery light, the airbag light, and the engine light were illuminated. The steering wheel became difficult to maneuver but the contact was still able to drive the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic and was diagnosed with the battery and alternator needing to be replaced, and was repaired. The failure reoccurred today while driving. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who was unable to diagnose the vehicle as the OBD reader failed to work. The vehicle was also taken to an unknown dealer who was unable to diagnose the vehicle for the same reason. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 125,000.
I put in a complaint back in 2019 about using to much oil and my car acting funny. Now the car will jump/jerk when you put on the gas and the air bag light comes on and the engine light. I took it to have it fixed last year at a sullivan's garage and he can not find anything wrong. He went a head and changed the oil. And mind you I just had it changed aweek before. And he said I was already half a quart low. My car still will start jerking/jumping and stop. Ill have to turn the key off and take out and put the key back in and start the car. And the engine and airbag lights will go off.and I just had a oil change.it happens when I'm getting on the freeway to go home from work and ill have to pull to the side of highway!!! Driving to the store. This only happens when car engine is running lights come on and car is moving starts doing the jerks. Please do a recall on the engine!!! I love my car!!! But this is going to get someone hit in the car. And something needs to done now!!!!!! My husband thought I was crazy, until he drove it. You can call him [xxx] ask for [xxx]. My husband has sullivan's garage phone number also. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
Had this 2015 dodge dart for 1 week. The airbag light came on and would not go off. I took it to a dodge dealership and they quoted me 546.74 for a car that I bought a week ago, for a manufacturing issue that was obviously not caused by me. The light came on when the car was stationary after sitting for a day. This is clearly a safety risk for myself and the car.
Hi my dodge dart has the airbag light on I haven't ben in an accident or any thing it's a safety matter if I was to get in an accident and the airbag does not go off me and all my passengers could be severely ingered or dead witch would lead to a pritty penny lawsuit the airbag light just came on it was just sitting in the yard and then I went to start it and when it started the airbag light came on so I did a little research to finds out what it meant and found out that the air bag light ment that the airbag may not come out at impact and it's a pritty pricy fix so hopefully y'all can do something about that so it doesn't end up a tragity
The airbag light started coming on when a passenger sat in the passenger seat. The light would go off. When driving, the airbag light began coming on when driving with no passenger and then stayed on. In addition, the seatbelt light would beep even when the passenger belt was plugged in. I took the vehicle into dodge for service and was informed the seatbelt could not be fixed because the part needed was discontinued. The airbag light was diagnosed as a problem with the wire harnesses. The day after getting my car back from being repaired, the airbag light is back on. It came on once I started the car. It now comes on intermittently while driving, sometimes does not go off until the car is off.
Fasten seat belts light appears on dash and dings. Air bag light continues to be lit. Battery replaced and tested good...car doesn't start. Radio loses reception. Key fobik doesn't lock, unlock, remote start or panic button doesn't work to car (always did before) check engine light has come on and went off several times
