The air bags were replaced in my vehicle due to a recall. Now my air bag light is on and the buttons and horn do not work. The airbag clock spring is broken. The air bags were replaced by the dealership. Should the clock spring be replaced covered due to this issue?

recall notice for passenger air bag was sent three years ago. Vehicle was brought to dealership and held for a week to replace air bag. Vehicle was returned with air bag NOT replaced. I was told to wait for a call when they receive more air bags and they would schedule for replacement. As of today, three years later, I am being told the air bags are still not available for purchase or replacement under recall.

My air bag light comes on and off, and I notice it only does this when the front passenger moves the seat

Air bag light comes on and goes off when sitting/not sitting on passenger seat. Appears the seats connection to airbag is faulty. Now the air bag light stays on. Took to dealership previously (soon after purchased) they said something was under the seat messing with airbag cables. Now light appears when nothing is under the seat. Light comes and goes but mostly stays. This happens when driving and sitting in car while warming up. Afraid airbags might deploy because of faulty wiring in seat.

The all wheel drive will not work despite having been taking into the dealer three (3) times for diagnosis /servicing since approximately Nov, 2018. The dealer even had it for 10 days while we were on vacation during xmas, 2019 and supposedly couldn't duplicate the problem during the "several" times they tried. In really slick, snowy conditions, the service AWD light will come on, but once I've turned the vehicle off and back on, it doesn't come on again until the next slick, snowy event. The dealer's only suggestion is new tires which doesn't help if the front tires won't engage when the vehicle is put into drive. When the AWD issue occurs, the vehicle is also difficult to stop when slowing down and difficult to start when taking off. Passenger air bag light came on and off for about 24 hours, then stayed off for 1-2 days. Now it stays on consistently (whether in park or drive). The passenger airbag light has been on consistently since Feb, 2020. This was taken in and repaired for the passenger airbag recall in approximately Jan, 2019

Chrysler 300 2012 went into saver mode couple minutes later alternator smoked then catches on mild fire.
- Firebaugh, CA, USA
Airbag light comes on and stays on. Already had harnesses replaced. Passenger airbag was replaced by recall. I was told if the airbag light is on the airbags will not deploy in an accident, making this a safety issue. The light is on regardless of whether the vehicle is in motion or stationary. Sometimes the airbag light goes off but it always comes back on. It's been happening off and on for the past year or more. I will use today's date as the date it occurred since the light was on when I drove the vehicle this morning.

Just bought a 2012 Chrysler 300 base model about one month ago from a used car dealer. In the past two weeks the airbag light comes on intermitant. It stays on for less than a minute. Once it stayed on for about 5 minutes. It always goes out. Car rides fine. Just wondering if this is a free fix at dealer. It would come on more when driving and when I stop the light would go out shortly after.

I took my car in the kelly Jeep in lynfield MA for 4 recalls, one of them was the N07, which is related to airbag and another one that I can not remember the most number that is related to valves and emissions. When I got my car 2 days later it turned on the light of the airbag and the check engine light, since I did not have time to get back with my car in the dealer, I called to inform the problem and see what could be done to solve, so they I was told that they did not even have a recall related to airbags in my car and that if my car had any other problems I would have to pay them now. And my car is a Chrysler 300 2012.
