Yesterday evening, the airbag warning light on my vehicle came on. Although the owners manual for my vehicle states that an airbag light needs to be checked immediately, this morning I was unable to obtain a service appointment despite my having contacted two local Dodge dealerships. When I spoke with the service departments at both dealerships, I was told that the airbags on my vehicle may not be working. However, neither dealership would give me a a service appointment until next week. When I called Fiat Chrysler's customer department, I was told that my vehicle is subject to a safety recall due to a problem with its airbags. It was also acknowledged by the representative with whom I spoke that one or more of the airbags on my vehicle may not be working. In spite of this, and in spite of the recall, Fiat Chrysler told me that it is unable to get me a service appointment today to have the recall and airbag warning light issues addressed. Furthermore, I was told that if the airbag warning light problem is not related to the recall, I might have to pay to have the problem addressed if it is not covered by warranty. Although I asked to be given a rental car today to drive until my vehicle can be seen at a dealership, Fiat Chrysler would not authorize me to receive a rental car free of charge, and instead told me that I would have to rent a car using my own money and seek reimbursement. Fiat Chrysler has told me that my complaint has been "escalated" and that I would received a return call from Fiat Chrysler "as soon as possible, " despite which I have not received a return phone call. I now have an appointment with lucas Dodge in mt. Holly, New Jersey, but for today I am being forced to drive a vehicle that may have either defective airbags or no working airbags at all.

Sensor light for airbag illuminated when returning from out of town trip yesterday 04-Aug-15. I first searched for recalls and found an article that 2 days ago there was a recall on select vehicles. The vehicles listed included Dodge Chargers 2011-2014. I called to confirm with dealership whether or not my particular VIN was involved in the recall. I was told it was not. This worries me due to the nature of the sensor and if the air bag happens to deploy while I am driving. I could hurt myself, my family or other drivers. I would like someone to check into this since the recall is so recent and on the website for the recall it states that it may not include recent recalls. The last update I saw listed was mid Jun this year. Thanks for your attention to this matter...

My airbag light came on and stayed on. I referred to the owner's manual, which stated to seek service immediately. I went to the dealership where I purchased my new vehicle. I was told oh there's a recall, we need to make you an appointment. I took my car in on the scheduled day, but the next day I was told that its a wiring issue and the airbags may not deploy. The factory warranty expired so you're responsible is what I was told by the dealership and Chrysler group llc. I disagree since this could potentially be a factory defect. No preliminary investigation since this same issue is known with the 2012 models. What does it take before a recall is issued on these Dodge Chargers. Any information you provide is greatly appreciated. Thanks concerned military service member
