Every time I start my car, the airbag lights stays on. It will not turn off.
Airbag lights turns on and off and I think it's a manufacturer problem with the harness behind or under the seat. I read it's a common problem.

It has been months since I received the s61/NHTSA 16v-668 recall notice,as of today I haven't received any updates on this matter. I checked online and it said the manufacturer hasn't been able to come up with a solution for this problem,I am very concerned because I drive this vehicle every day and it isn't safe to drive. If they cant fix it they should supply a safe loaner car that I can use until they can make the necessary repairs.
Takata recall. This has not been rectified yet. I keep checking the status of the recall and it says remedy not available yet. I have grand kids I drive around so safety is extra important to me. Please advise.

On 10/1/2016 a recall for called for my 2010 Dodge Avenger sxt. The recall number is 16v-668. They stated that the vehicle may experience loss of air bag and seat belt pretensioner deployment capability in certain crash events. I called my local Dodge to see what could be done, and told them that the occupant restraint must be replayed. They told me that there currently arent any parts available, and they have no clue when they will be available. That poses a huge safety risk because in event of a crash airbags are supposed to help save lives. With these issues going on and if I were in a wreck my life is at steak. I asked her about loaner cars, or if anything else could be done to increase safety. The only thing she said that can be done is just wait it out. With my safety being at risk every time I drive, I could be killed before parts even come in. I don't feel safe at all just waiting it out, and putting my life in the hands of Dodge. I feel like if they cant currently replace the parts, they either need to replace the car or loan one that works efficiently. Also before I purchased this vehicle there was a recall on the breaks on 2010. It stated that these vehicles may have been built with an improperly formed or missing brake booster. This could result in brake failure without warning which could cause a crash. Checking the car-fax that I was given this was not replaced or looked at, and now I'm having issues with my brakes. So not only is this a safety issue with the airbags and breaks, but a huge safety issue with my life being at risk.
Has a recall on this vehicle with no remedy was told by Dodge dealer ship that there is no remedy and its unsafe to drive.

Received recall notice in sept 2016. As of July 2017 still no fix available and parts affected by recall are major safety concerns.
Pieces of glass flue all over car when airbag broke windshield and got small cuts all over my face.
I came out of the grocery store on 11/03/2015 . Started the car nothing happened, battery, lights, radio, starter everything was tested and working great. . Had to call a professional locksmith service to program a new key to the vehicle. . There was no indication or warning when this happened.
I was coming into a turn and a dog ran in front of the car very fast and I jerked and hit the curb as I hit the curb the car went on top of it than back onto the street I tried to hit the brakes numerous of times but they went stiff and all steering went away it was locked I lost all control of the vehicle. The car hit another car, damaging it and my insurance totaled out the Avenger. Now we are without a vehicle due to this. I went to the hospital with my passenger who was injured as well, doctor diagnosed me with a cervical strain. Since this incident I am still having headaches. My mother is the owner of the vehicle and still is shaken up about this.
