My truck first started with my drivers side taillight going out. It don't work when my lights are off, but when my light out on it works prefect fine. When I first notice this was when I went to get in my car during the day and my neighbors who was parked behind me told me my taillight was out and was the led taillight. I believe there is as electrical issues there. And secondly, my airbag light come on. The vehicle was on a city street and all I did was turning a corner and it came on and still on. Thirdly, when it raining outside driving and stop at a red light, when it turns green and I proceed to go and my tires slide my radio would restart like I just cut my truck on. Everything happened at different times, but the most recent is the airbag light coming on.

6 weeks ago the airbag sensor light appeared in my car. I called the local dealership (lafontaine in lansing, mi) and they took a look at it. They discovered the wiring between the sensor and the airbag had corroded. In September 26, 2017, our car's heater core exploded on us after being installed improperly earlier in 2017 by wysup Chrysler in pullman, Washington. It poured boiling hot water and antifreeze on my husband while he was driving the car. We believe that this was the cause of the corroded wiring, but Dodge refuses to fix it. We have been without a car for over a month now as we sit and wait to see if Dodge corporate, the BBB, or the attorney general's office of Washington state will help us. The cost to fix our airbag sensor is $1500.

Tamara recall- my vehicle isn't listed on the recall, however, my airbag light comes on and dings constantly. It is when no one is in the front passenger seat and when there is a passenger in the seat. It seems to happen more often when turning corners or when backing up. Also, my electrical system is messed up as well. Sometimes my charging outlets work and sometimes they don't. this began to occur after my motor was replaced at 17,000 miles by the Dodge dealer because it had a manufacturing defect. There were holes in the metal of the motor and oil was seeping out of it. Now I have had issues with the air conditioner, the radio, all charging ports, the cruise control, and the airbag light coming on randomly. The local Dodge dealer always says everything is fine when I take it in, because they cannot replicate the problem when it is in the shop.

Vehicle was traveling on a side street and was struck by another vehicle on the left side just in front of the rear wheel causing it to spin and roll. As you can tell by the pictures attached the side curtain airbags did not deploy either at the time of initial impact from the other car hitting the side of our vehicle, nor did it deploy when the vehicle rolled on it's side and roof. Our concern is why?
