2015 Dodge Dart Airbags Problems

The check air bag light has come on in the dash back in the fall of 2024. I took it to Tacoma Dodge in Tacoma Washington to have it repaired on October 11,2024. It was determined that the ORC module was at fault and the part was ordered. I took the vehicle back on October 30, 2024, to have the part installed. I had to bring the vehicle back to Tacoma Dodge on November 5, 2025 because the air bag light had come back on. It was determined that the OCM module (seat weight sensor) was bad. I was notified on December 11, 2025, by Tacoma Dodge that the part needed was no longer available. I bought the car new in October of 20215, and it currently has 52712 miles on it. How can a manufacturer discontinue a part that is part of the SRS?

The contact owned a 2015 Dodge Dart. The contact stated that while at a complete stop, she was rear-ended by a vehicle at approximately 45 MPH. White smoke emitted from the front driver-side air bag upon impact; however, the air bag failed to deploy. The contact, who was 16 weeks pregnant at the time of the accident, was transported to the hospital via an ambulance where she was treated for whiplash and a blackened right eye. She was later sent to a chiropractor for further examination due to ongoing neck and back pain suffered from the accident. The contact stated that all tests related to her pregnancy came back clear. The other driver was drunk at the time of the accident and was arrested, they did not suffer any injuries. A police report was filed. The vehicle was taken to a Ford dealer where they assessed for damages and deemed the vehicle a total loss. The contact also notified Brad Deery Motors(112 N 2nd St, Maquoketa, IA 52060) about the accident but they offered no assistance; she was referred by the dealer to the NHTSA. The manufacturer had yet to be notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 120,000.

HAD THIS 2015 DODGE DART FOR 1 WEEK. THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON AND WOULD NOT GO OFF. I TOOK IT TO A DODGE DEALERSHIP AND THEY QUOTED ME 546.74 FOR A CAR THAT I BOUGHT A WEEK AGO, FOR A MANUFACTURING ISSUE THAT WAS OBVIOUSLY NOT CAUSED BY ME. THE LIGHT CAME ON WHEN THE CAR WAS STATIONARY AFTER SITTING FOR A DAY. THIS IS CLEARLY A SAFETY RISK FOR MYSELF AND THE CAR.

TAKATA RECALL - MY AIRBAG LIGHT HAS COME ON AND WILL NOT GO OFF. ALONG WITH THE SWIGGLY ROAD LIGHT. NO ONE UNDERSTANDS WHY THEY ARE ON. THE OTHER ISSUE BEING THE SHIFTER CABLE OF THE CAR, I HAVE USED MY SHIFTER AND THE CAR DOES NOT ACTUALLY SHIFT IN MOTION ON THE HIGHWAY. MY BREAKS, HOWEVER, DID WORK SO I USED THEM. I BELIEVE THIS WAS UNSAFE BECAUSE ON THE HIGHWAY PEOPLE DRIVE VERY FAST. IF I WAS TRYING A MANUAL DODGE DART I WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO STOP. AFTER THIS HAPPENED I STOPPED USING THE MANUAL SHIFTER WHILE DRIVING. WHEN I PUT MY CAR IN PARK OR REVERSE HOWEVER IT SHIFTS VERY ABRUPTLY. THIS HAS HAPPENED FOR A WHILE NOW BUT I THOUGHT IT WAS BECAUSE MY FOOT WASN'T ON THE BRAKE HARD ENOUGH BUT IT CONTINUED TO HAPPEN.

DRIVING CAR NORMALLY. I PARKED IN A PARKING LOT AND WENT INTO A STORE. WHEN I CAME OUT TO START THE CAR IT WOULD NOT START. CHARGING INDICATOR LIGHT AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. AUTO ZONE WAS IN THE PLAZA SO I HAD THE GUY COME OUT AND DO A DIAGNOSTIC. CODES WERE P0123, P2122, P2127, P0222, U0401. WHEN THE GUY WENT BACK INTO THE STORE THE CAR STARTED. WHEN I PARKED AGAIN 10 MINUTES LATER THE CHECK ENGINE AND CHARGE LIGHT DISAPPEARED. CAR RAN FINE FOR ONE DAY. ABOUT 33 HOURS AFTER THAT INCIDENT I PARKED THE CAR AT A PARK FOR LUNCH FROM WORK. TOOK A WALK AND WHEN I RETURNED CAR NEVER CAME ON. DASH WAS FLICKERING, ALL LIGHTS ILLUMINATED, MILEAGE WAS FLASHING, GAUGES WERE FLICKERING, CAR WOULD NOT TURN OVER. ACTED AS IF BATTERY WAS DEAD. HAD TO WALK BACK TO WORK AND HAVE CAR TOWED BY AAA AFTER WORK. CAR HAS BEEN SITTING FOR 4 DAYS AND WILL NOT TURN ON. NEW MESSAGES CAME UP: CHECK ELECTRIC BRAKING SYSTEM, CHECK AIR BAGS, SERVICE TIRE PRESSURE SYSTEM AND CHECK ANTI LOCK BRAKES SYSTEM. THE TIRE LIGHT IS ON ME BECAUSE A SENSOR IN THE PASSENGER TIRE BROKE WHEN I GOT A FLAT HITTING A CURB WHILE PARKING. I REPLACED THE TIRE BUT NOT THE SENSOR. ALSO NOW THE UCONNECT AND RADIO NOT COMING ON AND BATTERY LIGHT COMES ON, AND WHEN I MADE ATTEMPT TO START A MESSAGE CAME UP STATING ENGINE WARMING UP??? THAT WAS WEIRD.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE CAR STARTED SHAKING WHEN I REACHED 65 MPH. WHEN I GOT TO 70 MPH, IT STOPPED I THOUGHT I WAS OKAY BUT I WASN'T. THE TIRE SEPARATED FROM THE AXLE AND THE LOWER CONTROL ARM FELL OFF CAUSING ME TO CRASH. I RAN INTO A GUARDRAIL AND IF IT WASN'T THERE, THE CAR WOULDN'T HAVE STOPPED AND I COULD POSSIBLY BE DEAD. UPON IMPACT, THE AIR BAGS DIDN'T DEPLOY EITHER. THIS IS LIFE THREATENING. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS VEHICLE!!! THIS ISN'T THE FIRST TIME THE CONTROL ARM FELL OFF. IT FELL OFF 3 OTHER TIMES TO. I AM FED UP WITH CHRYSLER. THEY WON'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT THIS VEHICLE. IT IS A CASKET ON WHEELS. IT IS A DEATH TRAP AND THE NEXT TIME SOMETHING LIKE THIS HAPPENS, THE PERSON MIGHT NOT LIVE TO TELL THE STORY. HOPEFULLY NOTHING LIKE THIS HAPPENS BUT IF IT DOES, MAYBE IT WILL WAKE CHRYSLER THE [XXX] UP!!!! INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
