Consumer Description
I HAVE A 2008 DODGE AVENGER. MY AIRBAG LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON AND OFF INTERMITTENTLY. I NOTICED IF I MOVE PASSENGER SEAT FORWARD OR BACK IT COMES ON AND STAYS ON LONGER. WHEN I'M DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD THERE CAN BE NO ONE IN THE SEAT AND THE LIGHT WILL COME ON. AFTER READING ALL THE COMPLAINTS AROUND THIS ISSUE, AIR BAGS DEPLOY WHEN DRIVING AND NOT HITTING ANYTHING, OR AIR BAGS NOT DEPLOYING WHEN IN COLLISION, I THINK THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE! ALL OF THESE PEOPLE WERE TOLD THEIR VIN # DIDN'T MATCH THE RECALL. I MADE APPOINTMENT WITH LITHIA DODGE IN HELENA MT AND THE GUY TOLD ME ON THE PHONE HE DIDN'T EVEN WANT ME TO DRIVE THE CAR BECAUSE OF HOW UNSAFE IT IS. I TOOK IT TO APPOINTMENT TODAY AND THE GUY TODAY TOLD ME THERE ARE NO RECALLS ON MY CAR. HE SAID THE AIRBAG LIGHT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE AIRBAG RECALL. WHAT!?! BIG SURPRISE, MY VIN DOESN'T MATCH!! WHY ARE WE ALL HAVING THE SAME SAFETY ISSUE BUT NOT ON THE RECALL LIST???? *TR
