18 Air Bag Not Deploy problem of the 2005 Dodge Magnum

Failure Date: 01/15/2009

My wife noticed the front driver air bag light came on, we took it into the dealership to get fixed, told me it was the clock spring under the seat. Asked me if we put anything under the seat and I said no. A few days later, came back on, took it back, said they fixed it again. Wife drove off the lot and had to turn back around because the light came on again. Left car with them overnight again, next day picked it up and approx two months later light has come back on and pretty much stays on. I told them that I move the front seat back when I drive the car as I am much taller than my wife. Sometimes the light goes off for a while but then comes back on. I am in fear that the air bag will not deploy in case of an accident ! I have looked online and I am not the only one who has had this same problem. I had to pay the first time I supposingly had it fixed but the dealership had my car overnight on two occasions and still I have the same problem. For some reason no one can tell me if the air bag will deploy in case of an emergency when the light is on. Please- please, help me get this taken care of.
