As I was parking my vehicle I heard a click sound. Immediately after the airbag light illuminated also horn/radio/cruise control stopped working. Very unsafe. Not fare for a defect like this to happen. After reading forums online this is a known problem that fca has not looked into.

When passeat is decline the airbag warning light come on,have airbag service.
Received mailing stating my air bags may be defective. Takata airbag inflators. Would like replace if defective.
All steering wheel electrical function not working,including horn,air can not deploy, vehicle had this issue when new and clock spring and wiring was replaced 3 years ago, then recall was done for air bag and now the same problem. Last week almost involved in accident and could not use horn to alert other driver. Cruise control functions also do not operate, I am afraid to let wife drive with kids since air bag will not function if accident happens.
I had a car accident on december 4 ,2016. And my airbags didn't came out causing injury to my ribs and neck.
Service airbag system. Service electronic braking system. Service pwer steering. Service electronic trottle conteol. Service power steering. These came up wore throng it on to leave for the day. That happened 2 times. Truck had to be towed. Upload to software was done. 2 days later the A/C fan went out. It was replaced but still turned off antway. Dealer stayed radio need to be replaced. 5 wks latter - it's beyond installed. Dealer stayed software upload had nothing to do with radio mess up. I beg to differ. Radio controls alot of stuff critical to the function of the truck. It's happened several times for over 8 months. It's been in the shop more than I've driven.

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 ram 1500. While driving approximately 30 MPH, the front and rear driver and passenger air bags deployed without warning or impact. As a result, the contact sustained a bloody nose and face injuries that did not require medical attention. A police report was not filed. The vehicle was diagnosed, but the dealer could not find a failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and stated that there was a near rollover crash. The contact stated that there was no crash. The approximate failure mileage was 71,000.
April 15th 2017 I was leaving a friends house where my vehicle was park. I got in my vehicle and started the engine. When all the gauges lite up for the system check I noticed my air bag light was still on. I tried to turn off the engine and then restart the vehicle but was unsuccessful. The air bag light was still on. For the next 3 days and still, my air bag light is on and I get periodically a message on my dash stating "service air bag".
I had the 2 air bag recalls work performed at dealership. Less than 2 months later the service airbag system light and message indicator came on upon cranking and stayed on, so I took it immediately to the dealer. They kept it for several days. They said the harness connector was bad and they needed to order a new one. The next day they called and said the truck was ready. They told me they had simply bent the harness connectors and that solved the problem. A month or so later the light came on and stayed on upon cranking. I took it in to the dealer. The service tech pulled on of my boys' small footballs from under the driver seat and fiddled with the harness and said that it would probably fix it, but come back if not. (up until now was before three years or 36,000 miles had elapsed.) I took the truck in for the recommended 30,000 mile service and stressed that warranty period would soon run so check air bag light and everything else. A few more months go by and the air bag system light and message indicator comes back on but goes off within a few minutes. I called the dealer service department and tech said "as long as it goes off it is ok. It sometimes just does a self-check on the system." after a couple of days no more light. A few weeks ago the light and message indicator came one and went off within a few minutes. Now the intermittent air bag system light and message indicator continues (generally upon cranking, but often while driving). Sometimes multiple times a day; sometime not for a day or so. I cannot get dealer to return my calls.
Tl* the contact owns a 2013 ram 1500. While driving at any speed, the air bag warning indicator turned on and off. The failure was not diagnosed. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 76,000.
The truck hit a bank an flipped over an air bags never come out on drivers side.
At startup, horn and all electrical buttons on the left side of the steering wheel and back of the steering wheel were inoperative. Unable to make hands free calls, blow horn, or change drivers display screens. Will the steering wheel airbag work? Truck was sent to dealer for repairs and returned not repaired. It's gaong back again. Milage 21,112, owned 36 months and 3 weeks.
Tl* the contact owns a 2013 ram 1500. The contact received notification of the federal safety agency campaign numbers: 15v460000 and 15v459000 (air bags, seat belts); however, the part to do the repair was unavailable.

On july 22nd when leaving work, the vehicle was driven out of the parking lot and took two left hand turns and a right hand turn onto a busy road. The turn signals were working intermittingly the last time they were used. Once the right hand turn was completed, and began driving down the road, the drivers steering wheel airbag deployed. Once the vehicle control was regained it was pulled over to the side of the road and shut off. The airbag looked to have burn hole in it and there was the smell similar to plastic melting. The key was turned back on and at that time no turn signals would work and the wipers would not stop operating. Although the airbag deployed and diverted attention when it went off, it did not fully inflate either. The dealership was contacted and they recommended filing a complaint with chrysler. Since the dealer was only a couple miles away, the vehicle was driven to them. I contacted chrysler and filed a complaint. They advised that the dealer is not to touch it until an investigator contacts them, and that I will be provided an alternate source of transportation. I contacted chrysler and was advised there was nothing they could do and it was in the hands of a different department that I was not allowed to contact. After numerous requests to speak with a supervisor and the alternate department, I was finally contacted by mr. Kon of special investigations on august 15th. He advised that there will be no transportation provided unless chrysler determines that they are at fault for this. He was also unable to provide any timeline as to when someone would be able look at the vehicle. The dealership is also taking the approach that they will not offer a source of transportation until it is approved by chrysler. The r36 recall related to this same symptom was reportedly done by the dealer in the spring of 2016.

Owned truck for approximately 2 years with no problems observed. Received notice of 3 recalls 2 of which were related to air bag issues. Work was preformed by dealer I purchased truck. Approximately 1 month later air bag light comes on. This is the first time ever a light came on. Dealer examined found defective passenger air bag. They replaced at my expense of $600. About 1 month later an intermittent air bag light comes on and off. Dealer examined found defective wire harness for passenger air bag. Fixed at my expense of $300.
"takata recall" I purchased a certified 2013 dodge ram 1500 espress about a year ago. The dealer promised to replace anything that went wrong with the truck within 3 months and 3,000 miles. I also have the remainder of the powertrain warranty. As soon as my wife and I drive the truck off the lot, the "service airbag system" light came on the dash. I turn around and go back to the salesman. He says he'll fix it by resetting the battery. I tell him that's temporary until the computer relearns the issue. He tells us if it does he'll take care of it and we can have it serviced at any dodge dealer. It came on on the 100 mile drive home. I took it in to a dealer in chelsea , mi. They couldn't find the airbag fault as the light mysteriously went off. One day after picking up the truck, the airbag light comes back on. I called chrysler customer care at this point to try and get this resolved. They give me a hard time and tell me I'll have to pay for the fix. I've called them probably 15-20 times to get this resolved without me paying an arm and a leg for something they should have fixed when I bought the truck. I even took it in for a seperate airbag recall hoping it would fix it. The dealer didn't even tell me what they fixed, instead they said if I want that airbag issue fixed they first need to diagnose it to the tune of $125.00 plus repair costs. Needless to say, my "service airbag system" light has been on since I bought the truck and is still on until I sell the truck I guess. When I said they were just fined 105 million for not handling recalls/ airbag issues, they just said so what. I said so you don't care if I have loaded gun at my face that could go off at any time....they said they recommend I don't drive it until it's fixed....they really could care less about their customers safety.
