A dodge dealership has informed me that the occupant restraint control (orc) module has suddenly failed and is in need of replacement. After investigating in online forums and discussions with the local dodge dealership there appears to be a pattern of failures associated with the orc unit in several dodge / chrysler models. The cost to repair is over $500 ($344 + labor) and the part is very hard to come by for older vehicles.

I received 2 notices for air bag defects. And when I called the dodge dealer they said only a few replacements were coming in every couple weeks and hundreds of vehicles to fix. The resale value of my vehicle has plummeted, and it is not safe to drive in this condition. So me the consumer is screwed over.

Airbag light started going on and off and then went solid red all the time. I took it to the dodge dealer for the recall and was informed that the control module was faulty along with the passenger seat sensor. Of course, they found that my upper control arms needed replaced. The total cost of repairs would be $800+. They said the recall only pertained to the airbag itself. I have never had an airbag issue in any vehicle until now?
