Air Bag Not Deploy Problems of Dodge Avenger - part 1

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.

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.

I was in a recent accident that caused over $4,500 in damage to the front end of my 2011 Dodge Avenger. I hit the vehicle in front of me travelling at over 20mph and the airbags did not deploy and I braced myself against the steering wheel and thankfully was not injured. There are currently two open recalls for the airbag and seat belt restraint. The police officer on scene was bewildered that the airbags had not deployed, and I'm not certain they would work or not with the active recall due to the two main safey features of this vehicle. Currently the vehicle is being "tested" by Dodge/Chrysler group but they have yet to provide me with a loaner vehicle till they deem the car is in fact safe to drive and operate. I refuse to get behind the wheel of a car in the event I'm in another accident and the two safety devices I rely on do not work. Dodge/chysler is refusing to answer any inquiries I have and I am taking legal action against them at this time.
