2010 Dodge 1500 Airbags Problems

THE AIRBAG LIGHT IN MY TRUCK CAME ON IN SEPTEMBER OF 2018. I HAVE HAD IT CHECKED OUT AND THE AIRBAG CONTROL MODULE IS NOT WORKING. I HAVE CONTACTED DODGE ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS TO ORDER THE PART HOWEVER IT HAS BEEN ON AN INDEFINITE BACKORDER FOR THE PAST FEW YEARS. THE LAST TIME I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP WAS THIS PAST TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 23, 2021. I ALSO CONTACTED THE CHRYSLER CARE LINE IN JANUARY 2021. I AM AWARE THAT THERE WAS A CIVIL ACTION LAWSUIT AGAINST THE MANUFACTURER REGARDING THIS PART DATING BACK TO AROUND 2017. THIS IS A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE MY TRUCK DOES NOT HAVE WORKING AIRBAGS. I AM ASKING FOR FURTHER ASSISTANCE IN FIXING OR SETTLING THIS ISSUE.

I PURCHASED A NEW 2010 DODGE 1500 RAM PICKUP THREE WEEKS AGO. SINCE THAT TIME INTERMEDIATE THE LIGHTS FOR THE ANTILOCK BRAKES AND TRACTION CONTROL COME ON AND OFF WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AS WELL AS SEVERAL OTHER ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS NOT WORKING OR WORKING OFF AND ON. I CONTACTED THE DEALER AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT I SHOULD POP THE HOOD BECAUSE THE MAIN ELECTRICAL BLOCK UNDER THE HOOD ON SOME HAVE HAD NOT PROPERLY CONNECTED PLUGS ON THE BACK AND THEY MAY VIBRATE LOOSE AND I SHOULD WIGGLE THEM AROUND AND SEE IF THAT FIXES THE PROBLEM. I WILL TAKE THE TRUCK IN FOR THEM TO TRY AND REPAIR BUT IT APPEARS TO ME THAT IF THE CONNECTOR IS LOOSE ON THESE THAT THE POWER INTERRUPTION TO THE CIRCUIT WILL MAKE THE ABS AND TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEMS INOPERABLE FOR THE PERIOD OF TIME THE LIGHTS ARE ILLUMINATED AND COULD CAUSE ACCIDENTS IF THIS OCCURS AT THE WRONG TIME. I HAVE PICS AND VIDEO OF THE ISSUES. THERE IS ALSO TO GIVE A BIGGER SCOPE OF THE BLOCKS LOOSENESS NO HEATED SEAT EXCEPT DRIVER NO COOLED SEAT EXCEPT DRIVER ALL 4 POSITIONS ARE SUPPOSED TO BE HEATED AND COOLED. THE RADIO WORKS OFF AND ON, THE POWER PEDALS DON'T WORK AT ALL. THERE IS AS A UNRELATED NOTE AN INTERMITTENT KNOCK IN THE LOWER PART OF THE ENGINE. *TR
