At approximately 46,600 miles the airbag warning light/alert came on whjile driving on the highway. It now randomly comes on while driving.

Also, it comes on whether there are 6 passengers or just the driver.

I flipped on my brights, while driving at night on back roads. The dash lights all lit up, the light brightness began blinking in and out, and even the radio switched off and on. When I turned the brights off, the airbag light stayed lit, then the stability assist light lit back up. I flipped the brights on again, with the same result as the first time. I have since been made aware that the tipm is faulty. I had a problem with the airbag light at mile 172 when I first bought the vehicle new. At that time, I was told that the original tipm was faulty and it was replaced. 55000 miles on the vehicle, and we are working on tipm number three. Both of our tipm issues have involved airbag function, which makes this a dangerous problem.

After going sideways into a very steep ditch, both driver and passenger front side airbag charges went off, but neither airbag deployed. The seat belt locked so tight that I couldn't reach the door handle or window switch, or unbuckle the seat belt to exit the vehicle.
- West Olive, MI, USA
At about 93,000 miles, airbag light came on and stays illuminated. Apparently not covered under extended warranty. Same vehicles different years had recalls for this issue. This is a safety issue while driving. Will they still deploy in case of accident" or will they deploy and cause an accident"

My 2014 Dodge Grand Caravan has about 40K miles and the air bag warning light activates intermittently. I have an extended warranty that does not cover airbags and the dealership (with whom I purchased the warranty) has no interest in diagnosing the issue unless I pay an up-front fee. I think a vehicle this new should not be having this issue in the first place as it is obviously a defect or an electrical failure of some sort. Do I have any recourse? thanks!
- Wyoming, OH, USA
On Tuesday 10/18/2016, I was backing the van out of the garage and stopped to adjust the tilt when the airbag light suddenly came on. Took it to the dealer (10/20/2016) and was told they wanted $115 to run the diagnostic. All safety related issues with any vehicle should be warrantied for the life of the car.

It has been doing it for almost 3 weeks now, on occasion stays on for a day or two or comes on and off for several minutes and some days does not come on at all. It comes on when first start vehicle or while in motion.
