Owner-reported complaints naming the airbag system, filed with NHTSA
Data refreshed
Airbags reportsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

The vehicle history does not show any type of accidents. The vehicle history says that the vehicles airbags are in tact. In reviewing my contract from the dealership there is a page that states the vehicle has no airbags.The airbags not being present means the have been deployed due to a collision, right? Im concerned that the vehicle is not the vehicle aligned with the vin. Visually inspecting the physical vin sticker it has rips and is torn is some places. The odometer is always blinking. I am concerned that it may have been altered. Took it in for a alignment at a shop, but the shop said the could not complete the alignment.

When a passenger is in the car, the air bag light and an audible alert constantly go off while driving. Took it to the dealership and they say this: "it's a seat belt buckle sensor circuit causing orc. light wires are connected and not damaged" To me, the words "not damaged" indicate that this is not our fault. Of course we're not going to let our daughter continue to drive the car like this, but I feel like $522.79, which is what they're charging, in addition to a $99 misc. fee that I don't know what is, is WAY too much for something that I thought would be considered a safety issue.

Transmission shifts rough. Dealership replaced transmission but it has been doing the thing since day one when they replaced it. Motor bogs down when turning. Passenger seat belt flashes and dings even though the belt is clicked. Hands free system longer works. Airbags light is always on. Back up camera is flipped upside down and is a backing hazard. Odometer is flashing as well. Tire pressure sensors will show that there is no air in the tires after driving about 45 mins. It asks if there has been and crashes, I have not but it could happen. you never know when the car isn't going to respond.

I just bought this car last month, from my knowledge it has not been repaired, this is my first time buying a car or I would have never purchased it, one month after getting the car I finally receive a history report and I find out I have 6 recalls, have been having so many issue with this car since the week I purchased it, the speedometer does not work in heat and apparently the blower motor to the a/c as well huge inconvenience buying in the summer, the recalls state I have issue to look forward to in the winter as well. My parking brake does not work and I notice that the car rolls slightly in park, I have to press down hard on the gas just to pull out of my parking space in the morning it does not shift into reverse properly and I have been told by many people my brakes are bad despite them being changed recently and another recall says it’s a brake pad issue, I cannot test the other recalls because I am not a mechanic and I have not gotten into an accident but I would like to know if my airbags work and why my engine is having problems despite paying to get it fixed and still having issues

The seat belt warning light will continue to beep and flash when someone is in the seat and has the seatbelt on, also my car is unable to be parked for more than one day without starting it or it drains the battery and then has to be jump started with another car for it to run again and then the battery has to be replaced this seems like a serious defect the car should be able to sit for at least a couple days and be fine and this is during regular temperature times also so it's very strange it definitely seems like electrical issues.

THE AIRBAG LIGHT STARTED COMING ON WHEN A PASSENGER SAT IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. THE LIGHT WOULD GO OFF. WHEN DRIVING, THE AIRBAG LIGHT BEGAN COMING ON WHEN DRIVING WITH NO PASSENGER AND THEN STAYED ON. IN ADDITION, THE SEATBELT LIGHT WOULD BEEP EVEN WHEN THE PASSENGER BELT WAS PLUGGED IN. I TOOK THE VEHICLE INTO DODGE FOR SERVICE AND WAS INFORMED THE SEATBELT COULD NOT BE FIXED BECAUSE THE PART NEEDED WAS DISCONTINUED. THE AIRBAG LIGHT WAS DIAGNOSED AS A PROBLEM WITH THE WIRE HARNESSES. THE DAY AFTER GETTING MY CAR BACK FROM BEING REPAIRED, THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS BACK ON. IT CAME ON ONCE I STARTED THE CAR. IT NOW COMES ON INTERMITTENTLY WHILE DRIVING, SOMETIMES DOES NOT GO OFF UNTIL THE CAR IS OFF.

I CONTINUE TO HAVE A SERVICE AIRBAG ERROR ON MY DASHBOARD. I HAVE REPORTED TO IT TO THE DODGE DEALERSHIP AND THEY ARE UNABLE TO ASSIST UNLESS A FEE FOR DIAGNOSTICS AND A FEE TO FIX THE ISSUE WHEN IT'S CLEARLY A SAFETY MATTER. TODAY I HAD A REPAIR AT THE DEALERSHIP DUE TO A RECALL (V34) TRANSMISSION SHIFT CABLE. I AM STILL EXPERIENCING ISSUES WITH THE SHIFTING OF MY GEARS. I RESEARCHED RECALLS ON 2013 DODGE DARTS AND SAW RECALLS REPORTED REGARDING THE POWERTRAIN AS WELL AS AIRBAGS. I WOULD GREATLY APPRECIATE A RESPONSE ASAP. THANK YOU AND ENJOY YOUR DAY.
