I am reporting a safety concern with my 2014 Ram 1500, which recently reached 100,000 miles. The ABS module has failed, and replacement parts are not available to repair this critical safety system. Many other Ram owners appear to be experiencing the same issue. Additionally, my airbag warning light is on, creating further concerns about vehicle safety. A failure of essential safety systems with no available repair solution is unacceptable. I urge Ram/Stellantis to make parts available and resolve this issue as soon as possible to ensure the safety of drivers and passengers.

Airbag warning light by model year
What owners say
1. Front fuel tank strap bracket has corroded and strap no longer attaches, my vehicle is available for inspection upon request. (appears this was a problem for 2009-2012 ram trucks) 2. If the tank falls, fuel will let loose with the opportunity for fire. 3. Yes, (independent service center). My mechanic wants me to ratchet strap the tank up to run the fuel low (because the tank will need to be dropped to repair/replace). He can't do the work. I need to contact a welding shop to weld new brackets to my truck frame. 4. No, there was no physical accident up to this point. The strap is hanging and unable to reattach because the frame bracket is rotted out. 5. No, just saw the strap hanging under the truck. (Additionally, my truck doesn't come up as having a current recall for airbags but i have the airbag light on the dash. I see the federal safety agency recall #'s 17V302000, 16EO41000, 15V534000 and 15V460000 all apply to airbags with my trucks year)
There was a previous recall for my vehicle July 21, 2015 R36 15V•459. The recall was handled at the dealership to fix the recall. But now I'm experiencing the exact symptoms of Recall R36. Steering Wheel: •Ghost right blinker - When engaged, all lights are on and in working condition and blink at a normal rate on the outside of the vehicle. •No menu navigation •No cruise control •Can't control radio •Can't control phone calls •No working horn •Active airbag light Symptoms are constant all angles of the steering wheel. There is no noise coming from the steering column. Airbag light is on all the time. Yes, the vehicle is available for inspection upon request. My safety is put at risk for having a failed horn, I cannot alert others. And with the airbag light on, either the airbag can spontaneously deploy causing an accident or if I'm in an accident, they won't deploy at all. If I can't access my menu, I'm unable to see any vehicle notifications or alerts for my engine, transmission, and safety systems, including Perform Service reminders, tire pressure warnings, oil life percentage, low oil pressure and potential emissions or electrical issues. No, it has not been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center yet. No, it has not been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others. There were no warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure. First appeared February 2, 2026
The contact owns a 2014 Ram 1500. The contact stated that the air bag warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was diagnosed with an unknown air bag failure, and the air bag needed to be replaced; however, the part to repair the vehicle was not available. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, and a case was filed. The failure mileage was approximately 130,000.
Airbag light comes on and beeps then shits off intermittently. Happens every time we drive the vehicle. I noticed there were other past recalls about the ABS warning light coming on. The message on dash says "Service Airbag System". Our truck has never been in an accident, the horn still works, wiring looks secure for airbag harness, not sure if this is a common problem but I googled it and I've seen several Ram owners with the same light on.
My truck continues to light up saying that the fuel cap is loose. I believe that there was a former recall about a crack and engine coolant gas getting into the system, and this was never fixed properly. Also, the airbag light continues to come on, and there was a former recall about that and it was never fixed. These are all while stationary.
2014 dodge ram laramie longhorn, just bought and my service air bag lights are flashing 9n and off. They say its the harness in the drivers seat. When starting the vehicle it flashes and and off, and while driving its flashing on and off. I feel very unsafe driving my own car.
Air bag light on for two months,had a tech look at it clock spring kit sensor bad ,he said odd as truck is still pretty new, safety concern it controls deployment of air bag,controls horn, cruise control,and engine interface functions:or oil pressure,oil temp,tire pressure display ,the fact that the spring semester can control that many safety features and fail. In less than five years is of need to investigate as repairing is only dealer part and cost is. Cost prohibited as most safety features should have a ten year lifetime at least.a refrigerator does and it runs 24/7.
Electrical seems to have affected 3 items all within the last 6months at different times: non-related categories -(one fog light, front air bags & dash board dimmer switch) # 1 - (fog light) only passenger side, checked fuses, wiring and bulb - all ok, # 2 (dimmer switch does not dim driver side gauges/panel) and # 3- air bag warning light/- warning symbol/picture shows front air bags. Checked recalls, nothing reported on your site note: all other electrical devices etc are in working order at this time (fog light - stationary/performing a walk around for a road trip, gauge/panel- at a idle, air bags- when I started vehicle- warning light appeared, and dimmer switch - does not fully engage dim only dims roof light, not gauges- thank you for your time, have a good day!

Took the truck in for service on air bag light issue to the dealer, lawton chrysler jeep dodge ram's truck center located at 215 se interstate dr., lawton, ok 73501. I was informed by an employee that the airbag light was a common issue due to a bad design and a cheap plastic wiring harness located under the driver side seat. Any seat adjustments, loose objects rolling under the seat, or even a rear passengers foot could potential make contact with the harness in a manner that breaks it and may trigger the airbag light to come on.. Interstate dr. Martin ok 73501 I was informed by employee that the airbag light was a common issue due to a bad design in the cheap plastic wiring harness located under the driver side seat in the seat that just meant loose objects rolling under the seat or even a rear passengers foot could potential make contact with the harness in a manner that breaks the plastic part. This would trigger the airbag light. My concern is, will the airbag function properly if I'm in an accident? *dt dodge admitted it was poor design.
