Hello just the other day I noticed that the airbag light came on.the one on the cluster on the drivers side.I tried resetting it works for a minute and it pops back on.did some research on the web and it stated that I was a common problem in the 05 magnum. If that's the reason how come they didn't recall the vehicles.big mistake if the lights on guess what get in a crash airbag won't work.that can be real bad like a life being lost and we don't need that at all.
