I have owned my 2004 Durango for three years and love this truck. Unfortunately, the passenger airbag light and instrument panel light keep coming on and off at will. The clockspring is not broken because the radio and cruise control still work while the light is illuminated. As someone else mentioned, the light will go off if you move the wires under the passenger seat. I have read several posts about the seat weights, control module, low battery voltage, clockspring and ecu as possible culprits. The car has also had two recent accidents prior to the lights appearance and the airbags did not deploy either time? my auto body shop and insurance company found this very strange. This manufacturing defect is very dangerous and Dodge has had this problem with several earlier model Durango and recalled them for defective airbag repair. Durango owners need to keep posting complaints to demand action be taken immediately!.

I had a wreck in my 2004 Dodge Durango 10/27/05. My airbag did not deploy nor did my shoulder restraint keep me from hitting the steering column.

I was returning from a luncheon with an estimating fire marshall for west virginia and a nicholas county deputy sheriff. When driving home to braxton county I suddenly felt a sudden jerk in the steering wheel, and then began to lose control of the vehicle. I struck a guard rail head on, and the air bags failed to deploy. Vehicle then rolled several times, entrapping me inside and upside down. It was noted later that the left front wheel had broken loose. No other vehicles were involved. I was transported to braxton county memorial hospital where I was examined and kept over night for observation. I sustained no broken bones, but suffered several contusions which caused sever pain. Dealer was told the next morning when I was released from the hospital, but was only interested when the insurance adjuster would be here to look at the vehicle. It is a 2004 Dodge. Durange manufactured in November 2003. I am very upset at the dealer and the manufacturer of the vehicle due to the fact that I was in to the garage on December 17th for a recall on the positive batery cable to be fixed due to rubbing on the upper control arm. I responded to the recall notice the very day I received it. I ask the mechanic to put the vehicle on the hoist, and at least look at the front end componets, but was told that it was a 2004 model, and it was not subject to a recall concerning that problem, and that they were very busy. Thank you in advance for you time in this matter, and I hope it will prevent someone else from having the same experience I did, and save them the pain and suffering I am, or the possiblity of being killed. I investigated automobile fatalities often in west virginia. I don't want myself or anyone else to be a statistic.

I was involved in an accident on June 24, 2004 in which my 2004 Dodge Durango was totalled. I was traveling at approximately 60 mph and hit another vehicle broadside - I hit the drivers side of their vehicle straight on. There was significant front end damage, the front doors were not able to be opened, the engine was damaged and the front axel snapped on impact. The airbag did not deploy. We contacted Chrysler and they did an "investigation" and we were told that the accident was not severe enough and the rate of deceleration was not high enough to cause the airbag to deploy. They sent us a pamphlet with airbag information in it and in the booklet it states that the airbag is set to deploy in accidents similar to mine at 28 mph. We haave not been able to get a straight anwer from them as to why in our case the airbag did not deploy. I went from 60 mph to 0 in about 20 feet.
