The contact owns a 2013 Dodge Journey. While driving 65 mph, the air bag warning indicator illuminated. The contact was concerned that the air bags may not deploy in the event of a crash.

The active headrest has failed. I initially thought it was deployed, but after attempting to reset the unit, I noticed the silver pin that was designed to hold the headrest in position was loose. The small pieces of plastic that held this in place have completely broken loose, thus deploying the headrest. Closing this back into position is now impossible. I considered ordering a replacement part, but why should I buy something that is likely to fail" I called the dealer to see what they would charge to fix this for me, after being quoted $192 in labor, I decided that they would not be helping me with this. I'm glad this did not slap me in the back of the head while I was driving. This could very well knock a driver unconscious, or cause him or her to lose control of the vehicle. It is my opinion this needs to be examined before someone is killed, or do we have to wait for that to happen before a recall is issued" my vehicle was stationary. I found the headrest open when I opened the door to go to work. I would be more than happy to discuss this further. I can get photos of the broken headrest, I'm at work at the moment, but I can take pictures tonight and upload tomorrow if need be. Thank you for your time.

I was at the drive in movie and had the truck running for part of the movie. I shut the truck off and just listened to the rest of the movie via my radio and had the lights off. When the movie was over I I could not crank my truck. You could see the lights on in the inside but my truck dash said my key was not in vehicle of which it was. Then it said vehicle not in park of which it was. My uconnect screen kept trying to load and would just keep going out. I had 3 people try to jump it just in case the battery was dead even though I knew it wasn't including the tow service for my insurance. None of this worked. I had to get the vehicle towed home now I can not lock my vehicle cause it has no power. My dash says my key is not in the vehicle of which it was and that the vehicle is not in park of which it was. Now on my dash it says the following lights are on: Etl electronic throttle light, air bag warning light, and mil malfunction indicator light. I saw a lot of complaints about this on google and youtube when I search this issue this has got to be fixed caused I am a doge fan but I can not keep a vehicle that I am paying on and it doesn't work.

I rear-ended a Dodge Ram truck. My entire front end was pushed back. None of the air bags deployed and my seat belt didn't tighten. My car was totaled. My face hit the steering wheel resulting in my tooth going into my lip. I sustained whiplash and my knees hit the dashboard and were injured. Luckily I was the only one in my car. Considering none of the safety features of the vehicle worked it could have been much worse.
The vehicle was remote started, and then few minutes later the driver opened the drivers side. The driver sat down, fastened her shoulder harness and then closed the drivers side door. Upon the door closing and latching, the drivers side curtain airbag self-deployed. This caused some left arm bruising, neck burns and a deep abrasion across the drivers left side neck. There was no impact from any another vehicle, nor did the Dodge Journey strike a fixed object. The vehicle was at a standstill with the parking brake engaged, vehicle in park, and the engine start button flashing because the driver had remotely started the vehicle.
Our air bag light has been on for the last 4 months. When we took it to the service department they stated nothing was wrong with the air bags. When the light came back on we took it again to the service department where they said there was a problem with our harness. We have also taken our car in for the ac not working and they have changed the module 3 times already and the problem is still there.
