Air Bag Not Deploy problems of the 2013 Dodge Avenger

When I start my car which is stationary the airbag light comes on & dings (like the seatbelt warning) it dings like 2 times. Then as I drive on city streets & highways, while the vehicle is in motion the light will come on & go off randomly. This doesn't happen every time the vehicle is stationary or in motion, however it does happen way more often than not. And I'm afraid for my safety & the safety of my passengers. What if the airbags do not deploy to help save anyone? I have read other customers complaining of this exact same thing happening with their vehilces, yet there is no recall? such as NHTSA id # 11395069 incident date 01-31-2021 please look into this, and please advise of solution - resolution.
