Air bag illuminates intermittently. This is a clear indicator of a break in the circuit. The fact it comes off and on leads me to believe it is a connection somewhere being jarred. The issue simulates the issues already addressed in another recall. However, the year model falls out of the range by one year as previously cited year models. I feel this needs to be investigated and addressed to extend the recall to other year models of the Challenger make. Vehicle is in motion and the airbag light illuminates intermittently when traveling. This has been an ongoing issue and has been an issue since owning the car. A previous report has gone un-investigated.

Hello, I purchased a 2012 Dodge Challenger SXT from clovis Chrysler Dodge August 2013. Since that time, I have had the alternator, which is on recall be replaced by clovis Dodge in February of 2015 as well as February of 2017. I attempted to trade-in my vehicle on 02/13/17, but the dealership made me aware that there was another recall for my vehicle for the front passenger airbag inflator, NHTSA recall #16V-352: Takata recall. The dealership advised me that they do not take recall vehicles as a trade in. My vehicle continues to have electrical problems and now I am in a position where I cannot trade in my vehicle. I am trying to get a new vehicle due to having a baby on the way and now this car puts me into a position to where I spend thousands of dollars to fix it when I need to get rid of it, or I just keep it and wait for it to continue to break down. I'm not sure what else to do.
