2012 Dodge Challenger. The air bag warning light stays on constantly. I took my car to the local dealer in liberty TX, where they told me that there were no recalls. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and stated that the VIN was not included in a recall. If I want the issue fixed dealer says it will cost $250 and up. This has been a ongoing problem for over a year now.
The contact owns a 2012 Dodge Challenger. While driving at approximately 65 mph, the vehicle stalled without warning. In addition, the air bag warning light illuminated continuously. The vehicle was not able to restart. The vehicle was towed to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the engine timing needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The VIN was not included in NHTSA campaign number: 13v118000 (air bags). The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 104,000.
Tl- the contact owns a 2012 Dodge Challenger. The contact stated that while starting the vehicle the airbagwarning light intermittently illuminated.

I was rearended, (at 4200 miles on my new vehicle), while at a dead stop for a traffic light by a Ford f250 pickup truck traveling at 45 mph pulling a utility trailer hauling approximately 6000 - 7000 pounds which hit my 2012 Dodge Challenger in the right rearend pushing me into the back end of a Nissan altima, and not one of the air bags deployed in my Challenger. I had a prior problem with the Challenger at approximately 2300 miles on the vehicle where the air bag warning light came on and had the vehicle serviced at the dealer to fix the problem they said was a faulty wiring harness from the factory in the drivers seat for the air bag system, and after the dealer replaced said faulty wiring harness it turned the warning light off prior to this accident. The accident occurred at 4200 miles on my vehicle causing extensive damage to the rear and major damage to the front of the vehicle from the impact. Again not one of the air bags deployed. The dealer service department also stated to me when I had the vehicle in for repair of the warning light prior to the accident that they were having this problem with all of these new Challengers of a faulty wiring harness from the factory causing the air bag light to come on. I can only be led to believe at this time that the problem is not only the wiring harness but that there is a much bigger problem in the air bag system malfunctioning during my being rearended and pushed into another vehicle in front of me and not one air bag in my vehicle deployed in this accident. This is a very serious issue and life threatening and now I am stuck with a vehicle that is less safe than stated it is.
