Takata recalls. On 10/05/2016 took my 2003 dodge ram 1500 into gerry wood auto group, salisbury, nc, to replace a recalled air bag along with additional work. 10/07/2026 vehicle was return ed to me. 10/05 1017 took my vehicle back to gerry wood because the warning airinf air bag light was on. A check found the squib circuit and air bag shorted. 10/09/2017 returned my vehicle because the warning light was coming on and 10/10/2017 the vehicle was returned to me. I was told if the condition continued the shop would have to replace the occupant restraint controller (orc). I was also told that I would have to pay for the replacement of the orc. Never had a problem with the orc until the mechanics replaced the air bag. Any problem with the air bag that were not a problem prior to the mechanics replacing the part should be the responsibility of gerry wood dealership. Please adivise huber r. Ijames [email protected]

My air bag light keeps coming on in my dash area . I took it to my dealer on 10-30-2017 ( they did the recall when I received my 1st notice ) got another one today . They told me no light was on at the time , so they said it was not related to the recall notice , and I would have to pay to have them look into it any farther. The light still comes on, so I contacted you . The truck is in motion when the light comes on . I'm scared the air bag may deflate while I'm driving my truck . Please help me solve this as soon as possible, the dealer refuses to go any farther with the recall !! Thank you

Airbag light on dash stays on. Contacted dodge about this problem and they could not help. I don't think it is a good idea to drive around with the airbag light on. The airbag will not engage when this dash control light is illuminated. The vehicle has never been involved in a collision. Just minor scrapes and scratches.
