“The driver side air bag light come on and stay on after all other light go out. When the car gets up to 20 MPH makes a ding ring sound but light stays on. I was going to take to the Chrysler dealership to have them look at. Then I saw morgan freeman on tv about the airbag recall, but I did not see my car. Please advise if I should take to shop to have it looked at thanks.”
