Electric door locks and air bag system have stopped functioning normally. When you first start driving, the electric door locks are supposed to lock at 15 MPH. Sometimes they will not lock until you are going 30 MPH or 45 MPH. Note that all three speeds are multiples of 15. After the doors eventually lock themselves, all of the door locks in the vehicle will unlock without warning as you are driving. This can happen at any speed - 20 MPH, 70 MPH, whatever. Once they unlock, the vehicle will continue "unlocking" the doors repeatedly every 5- 10 seconds continuously. The front doors can be manually locked by pushing down the door lock button located at the top rear section of the door. As soon as you manually lock the doors, they will unlock again and continue to unlock the doors every 5 - 10 seconds as you are driving the car. In addition, the air bag warning light in the dash lights up when you start the car and stays continuously lit as you are driving it. I consider these dangerous defects. It is unsafe to drive, and my dodge dealership told me there no "open recalls" for my vehicle. This vehicle has only 86,000 miles on it.

Takata recall. The airbag light is on and will not turn off, the horn does not work and the cruise control does not work. I was told it was the clock spring which is recalled on all other vehicles but does not show up on mine. This needs to be changed.

On the 24th of august, the car was taken in for repairs related to several recalls including the ignition and air bags. After the work was done, the air bag light came on. After speaking to a mechanic over the phone, an appointment was made for septermber 9th. However when the car was brought in to be looked at, the employee I spoke to would not accept the problem as part of the recall work and wanted to charge a diagnostic fee. I have since had the car checked by a different mechanic whose opinion is that the previous work done on the car is what is causing the current air bag problem, and therefore I would like the work to be done without cost to me as per the warranty on the recall work.

According to the dealership (withnell dodge, in salem, or) there are no open recalls for my vehicle. Except the airbag light comes on and off all the time, and based on my research, there used to be a recall for the airbag module: recall number: 16v047000 / recall date: 01/29/2016 / component: air bags:frontal. I have owned this vehicle since 2009, and as far as I know, the airbag control unit has never been replaced as it states in the recall. I asked the dealership to check and confirm the airbag control has been replaced, but they refused unless I was willing to pay for them to diagnose the problem. The problem is still there, and I don't believe this recall has been performed even though the vehicle record shows there is no open recalls. I believe my vehicle has the problem listed in the recall, and I would like for dodge to repair (free of charge) as stated in the recall.

My airbag light has been on for over a year. I recently had it checked out at tire kingdom where they checked it and told me that the diagnostics are coming back that it is not an air bag issue, but rather a seat belt issue. When I inquired about this at a local dodge dealer, I was told it would be a $110 charge just to check it. I am concerned that this light being on could indicate that there is a larger problem that could result in my airbags not deploying properly in the case of an accident. I should not have to pay to find out that this is a manufacturing issue or a part malfunction. I hope that others are reporting the same issue so that we can get help for this problem with a recall.

Refer to date investigation opened: sep 25, 2014 date investigation closed: open the federal safety agency action number: dp14004 component(s): electrical system my wife noticed it first and I have noticed this. It started when not moving but now continues while driving. The windshield wipers wipe even though they are off, the air bag light and total dash lights, we can't tell how fast we are going because of the gauge failure and the headlights blink among other electrical problems. This is not a good situation with 4 kids in the vehicle.

I have an airbag light, no horn and cruise control which while searching seems to be a clock spring in the steering column. Dodge says its not covered by a recall or warranty, but they have had other years affected with a recall, but they are not doing much to replace this.
