Airbag light comes on and stays on. already had harnesses replaced. passenger airbag was replaced by recall. i was told if the airbag light is on the airbags will not deploy in an accident, making this a safety issue. the light is on regardless of whether the vehicle is in motion or stationary. sometimes the airbag light goes off but it always comes back on. it's been happening off and on for the past year or more. i will use today's date as the date it occurred since the light was on when i drove the vehicle this morning.

Airbag light has constantly came on, twice i have paid to have have the driver side and they said the passengers side repaired. it has came on again last week, i cannot keep paying to have the same thing fixed

I took my car in the kelly jeep in lynfield ma for 4 recalls, one of them was the n07, which is related to airbag and another one that i can not remember the most number that is related to valves and emissions. when i got my car 2 days later it turned on the light of the airbag and the check engine light, since i did not have time to get back with my car in the dealer, i called to inform the problem and see what could be done to solve, so they i was told that they did not even have a recall related to airbags in my car and that if my car had any other problems i would have to pay them now. and my car is a chrysler 300 2012.

Takata recall. i had an airbag indicator that came on the dash board of my vehicle and i received a letter regarding the recall of my airbag. i did take the vehicle to the dealership for repairs. after the airbag recall issue was repaired i noticed that the airbag indicator light was still on. i did go back into the dealership and asked the service representative why the indicator light was still on. the service rep advised me that there is nothing they could do about the indicator. i left the dealership and decided to do a bit of research because i couldn't understand why the indicator was still on. upon researching the indicator light, i did read that if the airbag indicator light was lit and i got into an accident the passenger side airbag would not deploy. i called the chrysler dealership back and asked to speak to a service manager who advised that the light was not an issue they could resolve unless i paid a diagnostic fee of $120 and they would let me know at that point why it was on. i can't understand if the vehicle has an issue with the airbag and there is a recall why i would have to pay for a diagnostic test. i feel that if the vehicle has an airbag recall that i should have left that dealership with all the confidence in the world that the issue was resolved. yet i now must either pay or hope that i do not have a motor vehicle accident and have a passenger in the vehicle. i believe that it should be covered especially since the airbag has a recall. i can understand if it's a maintenance indicator but it's an airbag issue that puts the passengers in my vehicle in danger. i need to get some assistance with this matter. i feel that i should not be put in jeopardy.

Airbag warning light illuminates randomly. happens while stationary or driving. i believe this is caused by a faulty wire harness. chrysler has issued a recall (13v118000) for this issue, but my vehicle is not included in the recall.

Passanger air bag light on

Since purchasing this vehicle on memorial day weekend at chrysler, little falls nj of 2014, i have had nothing but issues. from electrical problems, to the airbag issues, to later spending over 1300 in repairing the alternator. within the 1st few days of the purchase the air bag light came on in which i immediately brought the car in for repair and the mechanic stated that there were no issues found. unfortunately, it was too late to cancel the purchase, per flo i had signed the contract and cannot cancel the deal. after becoming very frustrated with the continuous issues with the vehicle and lack of customer service, i contacted corporate chrysler, in which caitlin contacted me and scheduled an appointment with rt1 chrysler in lawrenceville nj around 7/2015, in which they stated that the air bag had spliced wires. a few days from taking the vehicle home the air bag light came back on. i contacted caitlin to report that the issue still exist in which she never called me back. i called her for several months. i then took the vehicle to the chrysler in cherry hill and the one in lumberton, all stated no issues found, even after bringing it in when the alternator went on it. i also brought it in to the chrysler in lumberton since the car had lost power/engine knocking and they stated nothing was wrong until i brought it back to cherry hill chrysler and they found that it was engine problems. corporate chrysler and all these dealers have continued claiming that they cannot find any airbag issues or when they claim they find something, it has been repaired but yet the problem still exist. bottom line, all these dealers and corporate chrysler have continued putting my life, my families life and others in danger. i fear for my life and my families. this car is nothing but a luxury lemon and corporate chrysler needs to replace the vehicle since they cannot fix it.

While on highway, my radio turned off and vehicle went into battery saving mode. as i proceeded to exit the highway, the interior and exterior lights started to flicker. i went to autozone and the car barely made it there. the car smelled like if something was burning under the hood. one of the attendants checked my battery and said the battery was drained, i had them recharge it. i had to get the car towed since the car was inoperable. i picked up the battery this morning and turned the car on, and all the electrical system started to flicker so i just turned of the car. i read in to the vehicles recalls and i noticed that recall #p6o is exactly what my car was doing last night. i called chrysler today and they refuse to fix it due to my car not being affected by this recall but it obviously has been. is there anything that i can do to make my car part of this recall? if so what steps can i take to make this happen? this is a safety issue that could of caused an accident and or multiple accidents since i was on the highway when this issue started, if not for my quick thinking the car could of stalled in the middle of the highway. i should also mention that while the electrical system began to fail it was extremely difficult to brake. on another note, the air bag light turns on and off all the time. i am afraid if we have an accident that the air bags won't deploy.
