Airbag light intermittently comes on and goes off. Sometimes will beep every few minutes until the engine is turned off for a few minutes. Local Chrysler dealership tried 3 times in a row unsuccessfully to find the problem. I was told it was not a safety issue and that it would not hinder from passing inspection, which it didn't. However I have now been told that when the light is on the airbag will not deploy making it a safety issue that will no longer pass inspection.
