Air Bag Not Deploy problems of the 2012 Dodge Avenger

S61 airbag recall- I've had this issues fixed twice already and I still have the issue of the standing airbag light. I've been told as long as the light is on my airbag will not deploy in the cases of an accident. I was told numerous times that because the s61 recall was completed. I should be ok, but how can I be sure when the airbag light is still on. The first time I got this item fixed it took two weeks for the airbag light to come back on. The second time I got this issue fixed it took a month or so so for the airbag light to start coming back on intermittently. I'm spending a lot more time on the road now and the airbag light is on all the time now. I've taken it in for the third time, but to a different dealership. They refused to fix the the issue, because they weren't the ones who did the first two recalls. When I as for them to provide me with something in writing incase I get in a accident and my airbag doesn't deploy stating why they wouldn't fix it they agree to do so, but I have to pay out of pocket for the diagnosis and any repairs that would need to be completed. Im not sure if there are other people who have had issue with this type of recall, just hoping someone can look it to it.

We hit a patch of slush and ice, the rear tires locked and the car slammed head-on into a concrete pillar. The car's bumper, grille, support bar etc were severely damaged and the car was deemed a total loss. The radiator was folded into a "v". The driver's head hit the steering wheel resulting in a concussion. The airbag never deployed. Before the accident, the instrument panel was flashing on/off when we used the turn signal. The car didn't start or shut off at times. There is something seriously wrong with the electrical system/airbag.

Complaint regarding NHTSA recall s61: possible short circuiting for air bag deployment and there is not remedy for it. Why am I driving around a car where the air bags could not deploy? this is completely unacceptable and the person who I talked to regarding the recall couldn't be bothered with it. I don't agree with this.

Car has only 50,000 miles and have had to replace rack and pinion seven months ago. Now the clock spring is bad in steering resulting in borrowed time for air bag. So, if we do not replace this for the cost of $500, my air bag will not deploy in the event of an accident, resulting in possible death. This issue needs to be looked at as soon as possible with Dodge Avengers (2012). There should be no reason my steering wheel should have this many issues starting at 35,000 miles and still continuing. If an air bag does not deploy upon impact and myself, or my child, or someone dies as a result of the faulty clock spring and air bags, it will not be a very good situation. This issue needs to be looked at immediately. My car is currently at the Dodge auto shop and I purchased an extended warranty from mastertech when I purchased the vehicle, but apparently, my warranty does not cover air bags. This is something I feel that needs to be covered on all warranties, people's lives are worth covering. Please look into this safety issue with my car, and others as soon as possible. Thank you.

I was in accident the brakes failed during hard braking. I hit the brake pedal so hard I bent the pedal assembly. The seatbelt restraints didn't lockup and threw me forward so I hit my head on the roof line the point of impact was the sun visor. The airbags did not deploy and I hit the steering wheel with my chest. I hit the car in front of me when the brakes failed the car keep rolling to the point of impact with the Cadillac escalade my car went under his bumper so the car had to dive down just to roll under his car. The driver in the vehicle was not hurt. I would up with a small concussion and my right foot is still in pain.

I was driving in the fast lane on the freeway at about 64 mph. Another car, who was driving faster than I was, was in the carpool lane to my left. He slammed into my car on the driver side passenger door and tire. I then slid down the freeway almost sideways while I watched his car roll over 3 times before sliding to a stop. None of my air bags deployed. I hit my head and left shoulder, twice, against the window and the hard plastic part by where the seatbelt comes out. I was lucky and walked away with a concussion, severe neck pain, and back pain. The other driver was arrested for a dui. I am very concerned that the airbags did not deploy. Good lord! how hard do you have to be hit?.

I was the passenger in our 2012 Dodge Avenger. Another car pulled across three lanes of traffic and we hit her with the whole front end of our car. The air bags did not deploy. All persons in car were wearing seat belts. But the passenger seat belt tensioner failed to tighten. I was thrown into the dashboard and floor. My injuries: both knees, neck and back.

We hit a deer and the front of the car was demolished. Upon inspection the next morning, I noticed that an airbag sensor was shattered and just hanging by the wire harness. Airbags did not deploy, I was concerned about this and never got a straight answer from anyone. Now I get a recall notice saying faulty restraint system, I'm not too happy. . .
