My airbag light comes on intermittently and when I called the dealership and told them they brushed it off as nothing. My car already had open recalls for the airbag and got fixed but it’s still having the same issues. I had the car since October of 2025 and there was no lights on when I financed it. The car has had 2 airbag related recalls done in 2015, 2019. Is there any way of getting my vehicle fixed by the dealership or manufacturer due to a safety concern of the airbag light randomly coming on. The dealership and manufacturer is claiming out of date for the work and it’s my job to pay for the diagnostic fee for the airbag light/getting it fixed.

While driving my 2012 dodge charger at times it pops out of driving going into neutral. It happens when I'm on the hwy or in town. And the air bags has illuminated on the dash and it is at the dealership, and I was told, I have to pay for everything out of pocket.To replace it, popping out of gear while driving and the airbags. The dealership is not going to warranty anything because it's past. It does it off and on, and I don't know when it's going to happen. Popping in and out of gear. So I took it to the [XXX] 4025 Cleveland Blvd Caldwell Idaho. 83605. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

WHEN I WOULD START MY CAR THE AIRBAG LIGHT WOULD COME ON THIS IS THE 2ND TIME THIS PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED -1ST TIME WAS WHEN MY CAR WAS JUST AROUND 50K MILES--AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON--WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS DUE TO HAVING TO REPLACE HARNESS GETTING CRIMPED-CAUSED A SHORT(THIS WAS COVERED BY WARRANTY). MY CAR NOW HIT AROUND 110K MILES AND SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN. I TOOK IT IN AND STATED SAME THING--EXPLAINED WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS AGAIN--LISTED HAS HAVING A SHORT AND REPAIRED.
