Tl*the contact owns a 2006 dodge durango. The contact stated that the passenger side air bag does not work. She stated that when something other than a person was placed in the seat, the passenger ABS light illuminated.

On july 3, 2006 I purchased a 2006 dodge durango. Not long after the purchase the air bag light started coming on shutting down the air bag system. On july 20, 2006 kari dodge in kalispell, mt worked on the air bag occupant area. Not long after the air bag shut down again. Although not mentioned on repair log they again tried to repair the air bags, on august 2, 2006. Again they shut down. On september 21, 2007 I again took the car to jack of diamonds in longview, tx as I have moved to texas since purchasing the car. They again attempted to fix the air bags to no avail. So I took it back to jack of diamonds where they again attempted to fix the air bags on october 16, 2006. To date I still have airbags that are shutting down whenever they want. I have contacted daimler chrysler with this problem in an attempt to return the car as a lemon with a safety defect. They are researching my situation. I am not sure if anyone else is having this problem but just this last week I had to take my 63 yr old mother to a funeral in mississippi and guess what they air bags shut down again. This is a problem that needs to be addressed immediately as I do not feel that I can trust this car to protect me in an accident. I also do not feel that I should be inconvenienced with this vehicle any more.
Tl* - while driving a 2006 dodge durango at 12 MPH the driver 's and passenger's side/curtain airbags deployed unexpectedly. The driver had a bruised shoulder, scratches and a bruise on her neck. The contact was unable to drive the car, and had it towed to the dodge facility. The mileage at the time of the failure was 14,800. Daimler chrysler assumed all responsibility and paid in full for the repairs.
My ABS light & brake light come on, and my passenger air bag turns off. When this happens, the vehicle becomes difficult to navigate and the back end get tight. This has happened 4 times, and the last time was on a busy highway, and I was lucky to miss causing an accident. We took the vehicle in on 4/18/06 and had all recall work done, and the vehicle still is not working properly. This last instance scared me to the point I do not feel safe driving the vehivle.
