Out of nowhere, for no reason, our airbag light came on and is now stuck on the dash. We were just driving West on I70 towards wheeling wv. Light traffic overcast but no rain. Now we are being told by the dealership that our airbags won't go off in our face but they also won't function at all when needed in an accident.

I have had two head rest air bags deployed for no reason and without warning. First it was the driver seat in wich Dodge replaced after warranty had expired now the passenger seat head rest air bag has deployed for no reason and Dodge is refusing to replace this one. Dodge was unable to tell me if these air bags were made by the takata company. The first time it happen my wife had just pulled into the garage and was setting in the car talking on the phone when it deployed hitting her in the back of the head. The second time the passenger side was notice deployed while getting in the car in the garage.

"takata recall" I was driving over a residential neighborhood (no more than 25mph) and we have a collision with another car. Our car was hit on back wheel and was up in the air and roll up 3 times. None of the air bags inside of the car deployed. This caused damage, scars and bruises on my left side of the neck, shoulder, arm and hand. Thankfully my husband and daughter has not been injured, just me.

I am not sure if this warrants a complaint but when I wreaked my vehicle my airbags did not deploy. I was traveling about 50mph on a main road it was night time and had started to rain and I hit a cow that was standing in the middle of the road. There was about $8000 dollars worth of damage to my vehicle. I am just curious as to why airbags didn't deploy. Should they have?
