My airbag light always is on and my cruise control revs my car and I have to break.

Vehicle has 46,000 miles on odometer. A year ago the "service airbag system" light would intermittently illuminate. It is now staying lit all the time. I was speaking with an acquaintance as they had the same vehicle. Theirs caught on fire under the seat in the electrical connection box for the airbag. I took it to a few of our local mechanics and they say it is a substantial safety issue as they pulled the codes b0028-13 and b0020-13. Right side and left side seat deployment squib circuit open. The airbags will not deploy upon impact. The consensus from the mechanics was that Chrysler has known this is a common problem in these vehicles and needs to address the repair. After calling Chrysler and finding out they do know this is a problem in design it will still cost $4000. 00 to repair as it's not covered under warranty. This vehicle is unsafe and it makes me wonder how many people are driving these vehicles not knowing the potential danger. It will be going to the dealership when one of them can "fit me in".

Approximately 2 pm on may 30, 2025 I was driving from my home to a doctors appointment on habana Ave. In tampa florida. Approximately 8 mins from my home.

The car bounced, and the headset exploded into the back of my head. !! it startled me, but not enough to cause an accident. I pulled over to see what had happened when I saw the headset. It looks like it exploded.

I was driving home and while stopped at a light, the passenger headrest popped off its frame without being triggered by a collision or other event.

Dash light on saying service airbag system which causes concern if crash were to happen and airbags wouldn’t deploy!.

The active headrest restraint (ahr) failed. It deployed without cause and was inspected by the dealer. The issue was a small piece of plastic used in the manufacturing process. My wife was driving the car and out of nowhere a loud noise and she was struck in the back of the head. Luckily, she was driving at a slower speed and no other cars were around, she nearly went completely into the other lane. Had other cars been on the road, there would have been an accident. We took the car to the dealership when it happened with the passenger headrest a couple of years ago and the guy told us he ordered the parts to fix it, but it would take six months. We went back and he no longer works there an never ordered any parts. Since only my wife drives this car, we just let it go about the passenger headrest and moved on. I believe this is in regards to recalls s61 & t56. Both headrests are deployed and cannot be reset. To make matters worse, now the airbag warning light is illuminated at all times. An issue with airbags can be very serious and very dangerous if not addressed. After speaking on the phone with fca customer care, I was told this was fixed in 2014 (2-3 years before the recall was issued) & that it was out of warranty. I do not believe it was fixed, maybe someone inspected the car, but it was not repaired. The dealer wants to charge me $1,000 to replace the headrests and that is something I cannot do. The recall site states "safety recalls include any problem encountered with an fca us llc product related to the safe operation of the vehicle or the safety of the occupants. Fca us llc will correct the problem, at no charge, even if the vehicle is out of warranty and you are not the original owner. " this clearly does not matter to Chrysler. I have no other choice but to drive the vehicle with the airbag warnings on. I am hoping you can help. This is my last resort. It has not been inspected by the manufacturer and there were no warning lights prior to this.

Airbag light flashing, won’t go off! lights under dash started blinking n radio only works on steering wheel sometimes, light blinks saying light bulb out but isn’t.
