"takata recall " recent and ongoing problem with my 08 Dodge Avenger is the airbag light has been coming on randomly, from start up and while driving. Airbag has never deployed or no injuries to vehicle, has been on and off since last year. Oil pressure light was also on, got the oil pressure sensor replaced, would start off from start up and would come on and off consteadly. Front driversseatbelt also stopped retracting have recently had that changed as well. The TPMS light has been on for about 2 years now, turns on at start up and stays on while driving. The engine light has also been on for awhile now too, from start up and while driving, just stays on, since a few months of vehicle purchase, was actually still making payments when I took it in for service for the engine light, came off and back on 2 months later, been struggling with it every since. Just have learned to live with the engine light on and TPMS light on as well. Have had to change the alternator 3 times on this car already too. My car drives fine now, don't want to just keep ignoring the problem, would really like that fixed.

Air bag light comes on and stays on when moving seat up or back which makes the sensor come on, have to keep moving the track until it turns off. Is this related to recall G14? fan in radiator constantly turns off and on, and now my car seems to have a electrical short that makes a knocking noise in the engine compartment when the air/heater is turned off, also the left side of car defroster does not work. Most recent the left driver seat belt all of a sudden is not retracting, this is not safe in the case of an accident, dealer is charging an outrageous price to have it fixed.
