What owners say

Filed Jan 25, 2023 · Airbags, Electrical · CA

I'm always having issues with the airbag light coming on while driving it goes away then come back when there is a sudden move and causes something to trigger. also, I'm having issues with my headlight low mode not working I did a lot of research stating that many people are having the same issue and the problems have to do with the fuse box close to the battery. I'm also having an issue with the brake lamp going off on my dashboard not sure what that could be tried so many repairs and nothing seems to work.

Had drivers side airbag recall installed by dealer. Passenger side not available. With the installation of new air bag on drivers site the switch to turn off the passenger airbag gave red air bag symbol indication problem..cost almost $300 to replace switch and still passenger air bag on recall.. Dodge said switch not covered in recall. It should be as no light before replacement.when I drove the vehicle to the dealer. Is the switch covered in recall? If not why not as integral part of passenger side airbag. Vehicle stationary with airbag light on. Dodge dealer returned vehicle with airbag light on to me. I returned for waring light fix. In other word they sent it out of shop with the passenger side waring light on.

Takata recall. Contacted local dealer about 3-4 weeks ago to make an appointment and was told that there were 63 persons ahead of me. The dealer took my name and phone number and said they would contact me when it was my turn. I stopped in at the dealer this date to check on my status and to get a better idea of how much longer it would take and it was discovered they did not have me on their list. They took my information again and the service representative told me they were only getting 6 replacement bags at a time about every week or ten days or so. My concern is that it could take up to two months for me to get my vehicle corrected. Considering the potential hazards associated with this recall, I do not feel this is a reasonable timeframe for this to be corrected. The airbag warning light on my instrument cluster has been on now for several months and before I even received this recall notice. When I brought it into the dealer to have it checked out, they did not know what the problem was.
