I flipped on my brights, while driving at night on back roads. The dash lights all lit up, the light brightness began blinking in and out, and even the radio switched off and on. When I turned the brights off, the airbag light stayed lit, then the stability assist light lit back up. I flipped the brights on again, with the same result as the first time. I have since been made aware that the tipm is faulty. I had a problem with the airbag light at mile 172 when I first bought the vehicle new. At that time, I was told that the original tipm was faulty and it was replaced. 55000 miles on the vehicle, and we are working on tipm number three. Both of our tipm issues have involved airbag function, which makes this a dangerous problem.

After going sideways into a very steep ditch, both driver and passenger front side airbag charges went off, but neither airbag deployed. The seat belt locked so tight that I couldn't reach the door handle or window switch, or unbuckle the seat belt to exit the vehicle.
At about 93,000 miles, airbag light came on and stays illuminated. Apparently not covered under extended warranty. Same vehicles different years had recalls for this issue. This is a safety issue while driving. Will they still deploy in case of accident" or will they deploy and cause an accident"
My 2014 Dodge Grand Caravan has about 40K miles and the air bag warning light activates intermittently. I have an extended warranty that does not cover airbags and the dealership (with whom I purchased the warranty) has no interest in diagnosing the issue unless I pay an up-front fee. I think a vehicle this new should not be having this issue in the first place as it is obviously a defect or an electrical failure of some sort. Do I have any recourse? thanks!
On Tuesday 10/18/2016, I was backing the van out of the garage and stopped to adjust the tilt when the airbag light suddenly came on. Took it to the dealer (10/20/2016) and was told they wanted $115 to run the diagnostic. All safety related issues with any vehicle should be warrantied for the life of the car.
Air bag sensor light keeps coming on. Took to dealership and service states kids feet must be kicking it lose or shoving bottle under seat. 1st off vehicle is suppose to be to Transport especially kids! kids have not been in vehicle for month and light is now coming on. Went off for a couple of weeks again and now comes on and shuts off when hitting slightest bump in road. Questioning if faulty or bad connector but service states they will charge me to fix it despite warranty. Please help me!

I bought my vehicle at a Chevrolet dealer and they have no info if there is a recall on Dodge vans regarding airbag lights coming on and off, I searched for a recall on this but only found it on other Dodge vehicles. It has been doing it for almost 3 weeks now, on occasion stays on for a day or two or comes on and off for several minutes and some days does not come on at all. It comes on when first start vehicle or while in motion.
The vehicle airbag lights stay on...the windshield wipers cut on by themselves and the window rolls down by itself. The car can be stationary or in motion.
