While driving my 2019 RAM 1500 on 12 September 2024 my airbag warning light came on. Shortly thereafter I took my pickup to the RAM dealership's service department to ID the problem. The service manager looked at the airbag warning light and told me that the restraint system works in unison with the seat belt restraint system. So, while troubleshooting the restraint system she pulled on the seat belt multiple times. Each and every time she pulled it with various degrees of force the seat belt failed to lock. She told me that this is a safety issue that needs to be addressed. She went on to say that failure to fix this issue can be very harmful for the driver in a collision where the seat belt restraint fails to lock. She recommended that the vehicle should not be driven until this safety issue is fixed.

I was driving a new truck i had purchased from a dodge dealer , i was rear-ended at highway speed, the truck lost control and went off road hitting a earthen burm head on, flipped and came to rest on the roof. The traction control didn't work, the front impact airbags did not deploy and the engine was still running while the truck was upside-down Download of the trucks ECM shows the srs seat position sensor was not configured from the factory. The factory did issue a recall identifying the seat position sensors as a component needed for the airbags to function I suffered a concussion ,neck injuries, both knees needed surgery 1 surgery on the left 3 on the right i am scheduled for a knee replacement and temporary paralysis My wife suffered a severed ACL and had to have it replaced
Original owner of this Ram 1500, dealer bought. Around 60600 miles discovered rear passenger seat belt NOT attached or anchored to vehicle, under seat. . Did not appear to have ever been attached. Not bent or disfigured or worn as if torn off of anchor.
The incident was the seat belt indicator light came on while driving. Brought it to the dealership and they determined the control module under the driver’s seat needed replacement. I was told the air bags would not deploy if I got into an accident. Not sure other owners have had the same problem. I have read on line that there are numerous rear window leak issues which accumulate water on the floor that could interfere with the control module. It would be nice if ram would investigate the situation to determine if the control module acted on itself or water from the window leak contributed to the malfunction. To date both the rear window and control module has been replaced.
Unsure to what's causing the issue, dealership will look at it but feel it is a customer issue not a truck issue however among further investigation this seems to be a common issue amongst these model trucks, I have spoken with other people who have experience the same issues as well as researched it online where many people have also experienced the issue. The seatbelt light alongside the airbag light will come on intermently saying that the passenger side seat belt is unbuckled and it is in fact not. I have spoken with individuals who have gone to the dealership for this issue and they have found it to be a wiring issue.
The airbag(s) and Seat belt tensioner failed, and yes, the vehicle is available for inspection upon request. I was in a full frontal collision at 45 mph, the airbags did not deploy, and the seatbelt did not tighten or lock. I was thrown all over the truck and suffered several severe injuries, some of which may be permanent. RAM was notified and had stated everything was fine with the truck. But after detailed inspection by the collision center, they disagree and feel there was a malfunction. The insurance company after visual inspection also feels there was a malfunction. There is substantial frame damage, and the front of the truck was crushed. There were no warning lights or symptoms of failure previous to the incident.
My vehicle had issues in which all safety features have been turned off in the truck in June of 2022. Two dealerships have determined that it is a module but Ram has not been able to get the part now going on 5 months. Airbags, Lights, Safety features are all not working. I have tried to escalate but no response. I keep being told month after month that this will be corrected but still nothing. This is a major concern as this is a vehicle that has to be used and yet it is completely unsafe.

While driving the airbag disabled light, driver seatbelt sensor and auto park disabled light came on. This has been a recurring issue since my purchase in February 2022. I believe this is a safety issue because the airbag may fail to deploy in the event of a collision. The vehicle will be inspected by the dealership it was purchased at on 6/21/22.
about half a year ago, i noticed the seat belt didn't retract properly, and on occasion, it would lock me into the seat preventing me from moving even though there was no reason for the belt to lock. then a airbag light illuminated on the dash a few weeks ago, on the same day that i was standing still at a traffic light, and i tried to reach for a folder on the passenger seat, when the seatbelt would not allow me to move. So i made an appointment with the ram dealer. they just inspected and tested the truck. The dealer just told me it had something to do with the front outerleft seatbelt assembly. They say the ohms is low and the airbag will not deploy and the seatbelt may not work unless the entire assembly is replaced. I was told this is not covered under warranty, not even the extended warranty i purchased. the car is less than 3 years since delivery, and has 52900 miles on it. I can't believe such a safety issue would not be covered. I believe any car manufacturer should sell a vehicle that has a reliable safety restraint and airbag system, don't you? They tell me the part number is (mopar) #5kp971x9ag

I was dropping my child off at school. She said the seat belt was stuck. So her brother went to help her . Then she started screaming the seat beat was stuck around her waist . She could not breath. I parked the truck and ran around to help her. The seat belt was locked up I could not get it to release. The school principal saw the commotion and asked if she could help . I told her to grab a knife or scissors we need to cut the seat belt off. She ran and grabbed scissors and I cut the seat belt. She could have died if I was not at the right place at the right to me.
