The check air bag light has come on in the dash back in the fall of 2024. I took it to tacoma Dodge in tacoma washington to have it repaired on October 11,2024. It was determined that the orc module was at fault and the part was ordered. I took the vehicle back on October 30, 2024, to have the part installed. I had to bring the vehicle back to tacoma Dodge on November 5, 2025 because the air bag light had come back on. It was determined that the ocm module (seat weight sensor) was bad. I was notified on December 11, 2025, by tacoma Dodge that the part needed was no longer available. I bought the car new in October of 20215, and it currently has 52712 miles on it.

3 Air Bag problem of the 2013 Dodge Dart

Failure Date: 08/20/2024

The vehicle history does not show any type of accidents. The vehicle history says that the vehicles airbags are in tact. In reviewing my contract from the dealership there is a page that states the vehicle has no airbags. The airbags not being present means the have been deployed due to a collision, right? im concerned that the vehicle is not the vehicle aligned with the VIN. Visually inspecting the physical VIN sticker it has rips and is torn is some places. The odometer is always blinking. I am concerned that it may have been altered. Took it in for a alignment at a shop, but the shop said the could not complete the alignment.

5 Air Bag problem of the 2013 Dodge Dart

Failure Date: 02/15/2024

When a passenger is in the car, the air bag light and an audible alert constantly go off while driving. Took it to the dealership and they say this: "it's a seat belt buckle sensor circuit causing orc. Light wires are connected and not damaged" to me, the words "not damaged" indicate that this is not our fault. Of course we're not going to let our daughter continue to drive the car like this, but I feel like $522. 79, which is what they're charging, in addition to a $99 misc. Fee that I don't know what is, is way too much for something that I thought would be considered a safety issue.

6 Air Bag problem of the 2016 Dodge Dart

Failure Date: 08/15/2023

Airbags. The light did not come on upon start up of vehicle. Electrical. My radio, display on dashboard and bluetooth would blink off and on. I think that my sons safety and mine were at risk because of the malfunctioning of the airbags if an accident would have occurred they wouldn't deploy. I took it into the dealer, but they didn't seem concerned. They fixed some things and it costs around $3500. The only thing I noticed was the flashing off and on of the dashboard display which shows your speed and mileage on the vehicle and my airbag light did not display at all. My VIN number was covered up with a sticker on the dashboard of my vehicle as well and the one on the drivers door was missing. My car was stolen from ohio and I found it in oregon at capitol Toyota.

Also I have a recall on my transmission but they don't have the part to fix it so it could be throwed I to neutral without a notice. . I have pictures of the car the accident the brake booster and a police report . The car only has about 80,000 miles on it and the 2013 and 2014 all have brake problems and online alot of people complain about 2015 brakes and airbags. I feel these cars should be pulled off the market I still owe alot of money on this car and. Forking out over another $500 or more to fix it so I can drive it.

22 Air Bag problem of the 2016 Dodge Dart

Failure Date: 11/16/2019

At 61000 miles my Dodge Dart sxt has a service airbag system alarm pop up. I contacted two dealerships but they said there was no recall or open warranty for this. As it's airbags, a safety issue I pushed the subject a little harder with Dodge themselves and they said the same thing. Safety in my opinion should be first, and upon further research this has happened quite a bit to other Dodge Dart owners from 2013 to present with little to know knowledge why. Vehicle sits in my bark parked area and is driven very little so shouldn't actively have issues like this occur.

I had took my car to Chrysler in biddeford in may 2017 c/o that my e-brake was not holding my car. Once I got the car back I could hardly lift the brake. I went back in and asked why it was that way, they stated that it would loosen up as I use it. I used the brake a couple of months later and it went up about an inch. The next time I used it was in February and when I pulled up on the brake level it went straight up. I called and left numerous vm. No one called me back. I went back in on a Saturday for my oil change. I talked to a rep there and they stated that they would leave a note for someone to call me back on Monday. I never received a call back. I finally got someone to make an appt for me to bring my car in. Once they found out I no longer had the b to b warranty they stated that I would have to pay almost $500. I called and left a msg for the gm and I got a call back from the sales manager wanting me to traded my car in. I stated to him I thought he was calling about the brake. He stated to bring it in and they will put it on the lift while I talk to sales. The rep came back and stated do you know that your brake does not work. Made an appt for a diagnostic which I had to pay for and they ordered a part for my car. I had to take my car back to be looked at bill Dodge and they stated that my brake was not working and that my calipers where sticking. I brought the car back in and they stated I needed one of my calipers changed. I stated I just changed one this summer make sure you get the right one. I picked up my car and took my car to my friend in nh. His mechanic again stated that my brake was not fixed and that the e-brake is causing the calipers to stick. I got my car back and a week later (03/01/2019) I was in an accident where a car hit my driver's door doing about 35+. My air bags never went off. I have 4 airbags and not one went off. Other cars did.
