The airbag light comes on and off intermittently on the dashboard, it could happen while I'm driving or while I'm stationary. One day is lit the next day is off, I'm afraid this is a safety hazard because what if I get involved on an accident and the airbags dont function properly? I heard about a recall on these vehicles with similar symptoms as the ones I'm experiencing but dealer refuses to fix it unless I pay $600.

I own a 2011 Dodge Charger and recently had to replace the alternator. The battery light suddenly appeared followed by the abs and skid control lights. My vehicle shut down completely within a matter of minutes. I had no steering or brake capabilities. My repair cost to replace the alternator was $813. 87. In addition to the alternator issue, my airbag light came on a week ago so I went online and discovered the airbag recall. Upon contacting Chrysler I was told my vehicle was not included in this recall although the Dodge dealership confirmed this to be the same issue /repair as stated in the recall (airbag wiring harness needs replacing).
The air bag light keeps coming on, have taken it to two different dealerships. The first dealer was atlantic Chrysler on 12/31/14, they said it was the bag in the seat. They reset the light and is was fine until approx. March, then came on a couple times. In approximately in April I took it to sport hyndani Dodge, they said it was a dirty connection and charged me 90. 00. That lasted approximately 1 month and it came back on intermittently, now continually. Took it to sport today September 16, for a recall for the air bag system. They said it would not fix the light being on, they said it was a sensor and they would have to take the seat apart to figure out what the problem was. Did not have it fixed today, did not have the time. Has been in 3 times for same problem only to get 3 different diagnoses.

Air bag light stays on even though there has never been an accident. I don't think it will deploy correctly. It is truly a safety concern.

The airbag light in my Charger kept coming on and staying on. When I took it to the dealer they said the error code was coming from the seat airbag sensors and they would need to be replaced. Apparently my Charger was manufactured in January of 2011 and was not included in the recall for this exact same problem because the recall was only for those manufactured starting in April. The exact same part that was found to be defective in these other Chargers was the same as mine, but they would not repair it under the recall. After they fixed that the airbag light was still on and this time I was told that it was coming from the passanger airbag underneath the dash. Again the same problem with the airbag wiring and harness, and again it was not covered under any type of warranty.
This issue started approx 3 weeks ago. The head lights will not stay on they flicker off and on as if I was flashing my lights to alert another driver, when they are actually doing this on its on. This is not only a safety issue, but I'm afraid I will get pulled over by law officials. And my job requires me to have to be at work at night. This is very disturbing when this happens and they stay off at times for 30 to 40 seconds at a time and I'm having to hold the bright light arm to have lights. The passenger airbag light comes on from time to time saying it is not on, and there are brake issues as well.
We have had our air bag light come on again and again; even though I have taken it in monthly for the same thing. The last time was last month for the recall; but now it's back on again.

While driving, airbag light came on. Has come on intermittently in the past. Online search indicates that it is likely wiring to a sensor under the passenger seat, seems to be a common problem. Wiggled wiring under seat and light turned off. Will have dealer look into problem at next scheduled service visit. Problem should be looked into for a recall; a search of the internet brings up many people with the same problem.
My Charger has 2,317 miles. During driving the air bag light turn on with a chime. The light continue on. I turn the car off and turned on again and the light continue. I stop using the car since I heard that the air bag when this occurred shut down and don't work and if I have any accident, I am not protected by the air bag. On June 5, 2012, I visited the dealer for repaired. After 3 days in the dealer, they called me that the car is ready. On June 8,2012 ,I went to the dealer. In the dealer, the representative told me that the computer showed a code b0020-13. The technician proceed to realize a circuit test based on diagnostic table and they found a wire from the front driver seat air bag that need to be repaired. Based on the technician, one of the pin of the wire was out of position. The technician repaired to correct the code. After one day working good without the air bag light on, a chime sound and appeared again the air bag symbol. I check in various forum related to this car and in all of the forum they have the same problem and the dealer do the same procedure and the result is the same after repaired the light coming again. I think that Dodge has to recall this situation since we are not protected in case of a car accident.

Within one month of purchasing my vehicle the passenger air bag light stays on and after bringing the vehicle into the dealer 3 times it has still not been repaired. Then my emergency brake light and my abs light randomly started coming on. I brought it into the dealer again and they said they had to order a part. They "think it is electrical" and would call me when the part came in. Two months later. . . No phone call from the dealer. My car would not start two times since the last visit to the dealership. I walked into the dealer to show them that this large light with an electrical sign and battery flashed on and my vehicle would not start just 15 minutes ago. The service manager went out to my vehicle and said my abs is not working. I brought my vehicle in to the dealer this morning. Among the above issues there is now a headlight safety issue. It is not safe to drive me and my family. I want it fixed or replaced. I bought the vehicle with 50 miles on it and it has had nothing but major safety issues. I do not want to wait until someone dies with this vehicle on the road. Something needs to be done now!!!!.
I recently purchased a 06 Dodge Charger r/t. VIN: 2b3ka53h36h430213. Manufactured 3/06. It is equipped with advanced air bags, and an occupant classification system that will disable the air bags if it detects a small child in the front seat. However, on my car, and on the other (20+) cars on the dealers lot, the indicator that tells you when the passenger air bag is disabled is not present. There is simply a plastic place-holder where the indicator light should be. I have been in contact with several other Charger and 300c owners, and virtually all models produced after Jan 06 do not have this light. Here is a memo that my dealer found from Chrysler concerning this: note for all markets; as of 12/23/2005, for cars without side airbags, and as of 01/05/2006 for cars with side airbags, the passenger airbag disable[pad] lamp is no longer functional. It is still present, but will not illuminate at any time. . Read more...
