Filed May 25, 2024 · Airbags, Seat belts · AZ

The seat belt and air bag warning light has stayed on. I have had multiple Mechanics, look at it and even try to inspect it. So the lights will go off and they cannot find a problem. I am just worried that if I getting an accident my seatbelt wont-work correctly and the airbags wont-work correctly. I have tried to do a hard reset and so has the mechanics but the lights stay on.

I had a recall, R36 - the federal safety agency Recall #15V‑459, completed in 2015 for my 2012 Dodge Ram 1500. However, currently, the same issues associated with that recall is causing my Air Bag warning light to turn on. This is surely a safety issue. By the recommendation of Mopar/Stellantis Customer Care, I had it diagnosed by the dealer and was told I have to pay for the cost to repair. I believe this same issue, Clock Spring malfunction, is the same as the recall and should be fixed and the cost to repair not be incurred by the owner. Expired warranty, completed recall, etc. shouldn't be a factor if the same problem is happening, hence the recall.

My airbag light came on and stayed on and my horn or cruise control does not work. Not sure if I got in an accident that my air bag would actually deploy.. Thinking it is a clock spring issue.. Had a recall on my 2011 wrangler and same thing was happening to that vehicle also..this happened right after I started the vehicle after work today.

The fuel pump runs continuously while the vehicle is turned off with no key in the ignition. This causes the battery to die and usually leaves me stranded. There is also an issue with the traction control. This feature is designed to not let the vehicles rear wheels spin out of ratio, which basically stops the rear tires from spinning out. However, it sends false signals that they are it stalls the vehicle in the middle of intersections. I have almost been tboned several times to due the truck stalling and leaving me a sitting duck to incoming traffic. Lastly, the air bag warning light stays on, leaving me to believe it's also receiving false signals. Hopefully they do not deploy while I'm driving. If they do and I live, I'll be back to tell you about it. After doing a lot of research, all of these issues seem to be related to a bad tipm. This is obviously a major issue on thousands upon thousands of vehicles produced by chrysler and some models have already been recalled after a lawsuit. In my opinion these issues could result in bodily injury or death, and a safety recall should not be denied.

My air bag light has continued to come on and off and beep non stop in my 2012 ram 1500 sport just moving our seats triggers it and it takes tons of moving our seats back and forth to make it go off. Ram. It also does the same thing in my husbands ram 1500 his is either a 13, or a 1500 slt ? It is beyond frustrating that there have been recalls issued for other rams with similar make, model, & year, & yet neither of our trucks are covered under the recall. Ive has mine for a little over a year and my husband has had his about 4 years.

Had recall 15v‑459 completed at jack powell dodge dealership 06/09/2016. Dealership said they completed recall repair. Airbag light and chime still continuously and intermittently went off while engine running. Truck suffered front end damage in traffic accident 07/29/2016 requiring new bumper, grill and hood. This accident was substantial enough the airbags should have gone off. Airbags did not go off. Still today, airbag chime and sensor light continuously / intermittently goes off. Makes no difference if the transmission is in park or drive; seats occupied or empty. I dont believe the original recall repair was made at dealership.

November 2018, on a highway, hit a bump, and the seat belt and air bag lights came on, there was a message that the driver's side seatbelt was unfastened, even though the seat belt was securely fastened, and the seat belt chime rang continuously. About 100 miles later, I hit another bump and the lights went off and the truck stayed functioning correctly for several months. In january 2019, after starting the vehicle and fastening the seat belt, the seat belt light came back on, the air bag light came back on and the seat belt message says that it is not fastened and it chimes continuously for about five minutes. I took the vehicle to the dealership on february 20, 2019. They found a code "u0151 ocr module lost communication" and told me the ocr module would have to be replaced but it is on back order. The vehicle continues to malfunction. The vehicle has not ever been in any accidents that would have deployed the air bags. The vehicle has less than 73,000 miles on it. I am uploading several pictures. The first is the dashboard showing the lights on and seatbelt unfastened message even though I had the seatbelt fastened. The second is a picture of the ocr module which I looked at to make sure it didn't have any loose wires. And the third is the diagnostic report from the dealership.
