Ive had the truck for 3 months and airbag light came on. Had it diagnosed to find it has a bad sensor in the seatbelt pretensioner that is stopping the passenger airbag from deploying and the seatbelt from locking. This is a major problem and should be a recall as I had it fixed and paid almost $600 to have replaced. I've called Stelantis and they offer no help as if it becomes a recall in the future they will possibly reimburse me they say.

I started my truck up one morning and the airbag system light came on. Took it to the dealership and they reported fault code B007F-13 and recommended immediately replacing faulty passenger seatbelt retractor. For some reason my truck was not included in safety recall W67. Dealership quoted out-of-pocket fix was $800. I drove around for several months with the airbag light on because I could not afford to fix. Dealership is finally fixing today. They are applying the same fix they have made to other 2019 Dodge Ram trucks in the recall group. This is a major safety issue and negligence to not include all vehicles affected by this malfunction. My truck should have been included in the recall if it is getting the exact same safety recall fix as other models in the same year.

There was a recall W67 on the same make and model but my vin was not included. However, I have the same issue now with the seatbelt retractor. It has failed causing the air bag light to come on and they are not sure it will work properly either. I’m hoping this recall can be revisited and extended to my vehicle.

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.

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.

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.
