The airbag and seatbelt restraint systems are non-functional. The airbag warning light and seatbelt warning light are illuminated. The vehicle was sold to me by a licensed dealership, and after purchase I discovered evidence of prior crash damage that was not disclosed. Due to the disabled airbag and seatbelt systems, occupants would not be properly restrained or protected in the event of a collision, creating a serious risk of injury or death. The vehicle was purchased used, and I was not involved in the prior crash nor told about it. The exact details of the prior crash are unknown. The vehicle is available for inspection upon request. The issue has not yet been inspected by the manufacturer, police, or insurance representatives.

Airbag warning light by model year
What owners say
I am driving a 2015 Dodge Journey. Randomly, the airbag light came on, followed by loss of all electronics on the steering wheel. The horn will not work, nor any of the switches on the steering wheel. I did find that this is a common issue with Dodge Vehicles under recall 18V332000 AND 17V432000. I was told at the dealership that my specific dodge journey did not group into that recall however is experiencing those same issues. I am unsure if the airbag will even deploy in this state, coupled with the failure of the horn, this vehicle is not safe to drive.
Air bag light comes on and stays on sometimes for days. Air bag light may come on going down a gravel road with a lot of ruts and if I make a sharp left or right turn it will come on.
Airbag light comes on and won't go off. There’s not a reason to or it to be on such as impact.
My Airbag light continuously stays lit. Concerned about malfunction.
Airbag warning light goes on and off at times, sometime remains on for a minute or two and other times goes off immediately. This happens when the turn signal is turned on or when I run over a bump in the road. I had the codes run on it and it shows up as the steering wheel clockspring. This started doing this during summer of 2022 and stopped until recently.
The contact's wife owns a 2015 Dodge Journey. The contact stated that the air bag warning light was illuminated. An unknown dealer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that the VIN was not included in the federal safety agency Campaign Number: 17V432000 (Air Bags). The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 140,000.
Complete power loss while driving the whole transmission had to be replaced. Since that event we had have constant problems with misfires and fuel injectors. Airbag light keeps coming on. Electrical problems.
Steering wheel controls no longer working, horn will not work and air bag light is randomly coming on and off. I believe that the clock spring mechanism is faulty and has caused wiring to become worn do to poor quality of part and installation during manufacturing. This vehicle is not even 5 years old,so problems with major safety components and controls are the direct lack of quality control upon installation. Other recalls related to similar issues and vehicle type are consistent from manufacturer. Do to the over all safety hazard of this fault I would expect the manufacture to help assist in repair to avoid possible injuries and law suits. Thank you for your time and hopefully resolution to a serious issue!
I was parked in my driveway with the car on and I was talking the my kids in the back seat turned around to look at them when I turned around I hear a loud pop like someone had hit the headrest but nobody had. Looked at the headrest and it had deployed without warning. The airbag light came on and shortly after the incident. Thankfully I was not driving otherwise it would have hit me in the back of my head.
Airbag light is on and stay on while driving and my mileage on my car is 68754
