Filed Sep 29, 2004 · Airbags · 43,000 miles · MI

Dodge neon 2001 my - 43,000 miles. Today, while making a parking maneuver I suddenly heard several plastic click and crack like noises. I immediately thought of the clock spring; my fears were confirmed few seconds later when the airbag light turned on my cluster. Finally, after hearing the same kind of noise 3 of 4 times while driving the light ended up staying on. It basically meant that I have no airbag and I am a little bit worried that it might come off unexpectedly. Think it is not normal for such a safety component to fail in such way after only 43,000 miles. I really can't think of anything I could have done that would explain that.
