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.

2012 dodge ram. Consumer writes in regards to dealership unable to repair recall notice 15v‑459.
2012 dodge ram 1500 was in an accident sustaining moderate damage to the front end. Speed limit at the time of impact is estimated to be over 10 MPH and the airbags didnt deploy nor are there any warnings lights. Based on the location of the damages and the frame shifted, shouldnt the airbags have deployed?
I was driving down a county road, another vehicle ran a stop sign in front of me I swerved and the vehicle went airborne off the road and impacted head on to other side of the drainage ditch off the road. My airbag was not deployed and my head impacted the steering wheel.
