“I was driving my car an my air bag light popped up on my dash . It beeps and goes off an on when I turn , I went to mechanic he says its something Dodge needs to fix . I ran into a ditch avoiding hitting another car an my air bags didnt deploy I was going 55 . I think Dodge needs to do a recall and fix this problem its several people complaining about this so evidently its a manufacturing problem .”

“Our 2007 Dodge Caliber has a airbag warning light indicator that stays on continuously and now it is going on and off intermittently. I took it into Dodge dealer and they said it's not under warranty. So we took the car to an auto repair facility that said it is a dangerous and expensive repair and that Dodge should take care of it because it is a serious safety issue. What is our next step to resolve this issue?”
