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.

I was not in a car accident or anything at all. I just got this vehicle july 2020! This is obviously a defect and a dangerous safety hazard!! Thank god my kids and I were not in vehicle. I need the dealership to fix their defective vehicle immediately!!!
Drivers side head rest went off while car was parked and not in motion. The passenger went off while driving on flat smooth road about 9 months earlier
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.
I was driving down the road and all of a sudden I felt something hit me in the back of my neck. My headrest had exploded!
I was driving 35mph down a street, not a rough road at all, not braking, when I heard a loud bang. After I pulled over and inspected the vehicle, I saw that the front passenger headrest had exploded open. No one was sat in the passenger seat at the time.
After being hit dead on to the back driver side tire my vehicle swung around and hit a pole on the back passenger side door then bounced back before coming to a rest. The airbags in the front and back did not deploy despite heavy impact on both sides of the vehicle. Enough to total the vehicle and cause the wheel area to collapse. I can provide additional detailed photos of both sides of the vehicle if needed. The other vehicle was going fast but I'm unsure of their speed as I was crossing the road.*dt
The passenger front seat headrest airbag deployed without any movement, accidents or force.
Right front headrest exploded while in park car was not hit or moving
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.
Front passenger side headrest airbag deployed randomly while the car was parked and no one was in it.
My passenger side headrest deployed after crossing a bridge on the interstate 81 on my way home from work. I do have pictures of the headrest but this site isn't allowing me to upload the picture.
The driver side headrest deployed randomly. It appears that something inside snapped/broke. We cannot drive it without it pushing the driver's head forward.
My head rest deployed while driving down the road and will not go back into place I think the clip that hold it in broke when it deployed. This could have caused an accident or injury had I been leaning against it.

Front airbag light pop out while driving 45khm
Airbag light comes on and will not shut off, AC turns on and will not shut off once the button is pushed over and over again.
I have been having problems with the power windows. There is a clicking sound when attempting to roll the window down. It rolls down sometimes. After that's been going on for a few weeks, my car cut off. I received a jump through my insurance. Today, my car got jumped and cut off twice. The mechanic said it was the alternator. I went online and I found that other people have had the same issues with dodge, chrysler, and fiat. Each time my car didn't restart, it was after I parked and came back to it. Today, it's being towed.
My 2015 dodge journey headrest exploded while I was driving. Want to bring it in but seeing that its not a recall.
Takata recall : urgent: overtime I've had electrical issues which effects not just the plug inserts inside the vehicle but also my alarm system foes not work and my horn just does not work anymore, air bag light that popped up on my dashboard which I feel maybe some wires might be detached but scares me that when I drive the air bag wont detect if I get into an accident, also I recently just had an issue with my engine cooling and started to smoke out of nowhere while on the freeway and ended up getting stuck for hours but even if I drive for a few seconds the gauge shoots to hot right away and and coolant started leaking everywhere. I have attached the 6 out of 10 recalls that did not get done. I brought my car into bud clary's of auburn in march of 2019 and had 4 recalls taken care of. I have advised that I still had 6 orhers that were reported back in 2015 that I never got done and wanted to take care of that as well. Was told that it does not show in the system and I would need to contact the federal safety agency for more details. Ive reached out to a few people who gave me the same information.

I'm currently living in hawaii and I was driving down the road and hit a slight bump in the road and my passenger side headrest spring forward. Thinking it was something minor I did not think anything about it until I realized my airbag light came on, on the dashboard. If I am to hit a bump in the road the light will go off temporarily but come back on.
