Takata inflators. When I start my truck the air bag light comes on and stays on for awhile then it goes off. It can come on at anytime, starting it up or in motion.I contact the dealership were I bought the truck, but they tell me the air bag light has to be on when I bring it in, or they can't run a diagnostic test. I dont know what to do about it. It seems every time I go to the dealership the light inconveniently goes off. I have been dealing with this for about 6mo, off and on.

The fix for this dangerous recall is taking way to long to come up with a fix for this type of a dangerous problem. Many more injuries will happen and possibly more lives will be lost or people maimed.I urge you to push the vehicle manufacture come up with a fix or replace these dangerous vehicles. At full replacement price.

2012 Dodge Ram 1500 was in an accident sustaining moderate damage to the front end. Speed limit at the time of impact is estimated to be over 10 mph and the airbags didnt deploy nor are there any warnings lights. Based on the location of the damages and the frame shifted, shouldnt the airbags have deployed?

- Hampton, GA, USA
My air bag light came on for about a day then went off. At the same time I notice the back seat door would not lock or unlock by using the key fob or auto door locks. Since then, the door locks work but the air bag light stays on. Hooked up a diagnostic and shows no errors. Truck only has 30K miles and warranty is out. I do have extended warranty but feel this should not happen at this low mileage.
