2014 RAM 2500 Airbags Problems

A red warning light appeared on my dash which says to” service airbags.” It has been on for a few months now. I’m really concerned now since I heard about airbags being recalled.

THE TRUCK WAS RECALLED AND REPAIRED OR UP DATED AS PER RECALL NOTICES. THEN I STARTED HAVING TROUBLE WITH MY CRUISE CONTROL. MY DEALER CHECKED THE SWITCH AND FUSE , THEY WHERE OK. THE TECH SAID THERE IS MAYBE SOMETHING BROKE IN THE CLOCK SPRING. I ONLY HAVE 29K ON THE TRUCK. I THINK THEY MAY HAVE BROKE SOMETHING IN ONE OF THE RECALL FIXES. THERE SEEMS TO BE OTHER PEOPLE WITH THE SAME TROUBLE. I DON'T THINK THEY FIXING THE RECALLS PROPERLY. WHY SHOULD I PAY FOR THEIR GUESS WORK AND/OR SLOPPY WORK.

SERVICE AIRBAG SYSTEM LIGHT COMES ON CONSTANTLY. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY CANNOT FIND AN ISSUE. IT IS NOT ONLY ANNOYING, BUT FLAT OUT SCARES ME TO THINK THAT THE AIRBAGS COULD INADVERTENTLY DEPLOY, OR FAIL WHEN NEEDED. THERE IS NO RECALL ON THE VEHICLE, NOR CAN THE DEALER MAKE HEADS OR TAILS OF THE ISSUE.
