The airbag light keeps popping up. When parked or moving, it's always on and chimes from time to time.the vehicle has not been hit or in any car accidents. Dealer is unaware of any issues but I've talked with other nitro owners that are having the same issue. My clock was losing time for a long time I took it to the dealership and they said nothing was wrong. Finally they had a recall and then wanted to charge me for the repair even though it had been in a couple of time for the issue before. I love my nitro but I don't think I will ever purchase another dodge vehicle again because of how my issues have been handled.
