2013 DODGE AVENGER Air Bags Problems

Both head rest which is attached to airbags or have airbags in them I don’t know but the exploded open. Headrest could have exploded while someone was in the seat and got head injuries. No problem has not been confirmed by anyone but myself,husband and self employed mechanic, I didn’t know what to do. No, no type of warning before it happen.

I was driving my car and the active headrests on the driver side and passenger side both deployed prematurely. I wasn't in any collisions and the headrests deployed. It was very unexpected when they went off as i was driving to school it put both my safety and my sisters safety at risk when they deployed. As stated previously i am unsure as to why they went off as i was never involved in any collisions. There were no warning lamps or any messages prior to them deploying.

The TIPM failed causing the car to shut off and not start again. The problem has been confirmed by Upstate Auto. There was a recall on the TIPM but it was not replaced instead some occupant restraints were replaced instead and now the manufacturer does not make the TIPM part anymore.

The headrest in front passenger side made a loud noise and opened. It's scared me, because I had no clue what the noise was from at the time. It was night time and all I can say is thank God no other cars were near me...I probably would have wrecked. I'm very thankful that my son was not sitting there when it happened. There were no lights or warnings and I never knew that could happen let alone know the headrests could pop open. The vehicle has not been looked at our inspected. I seen there was a recall on this but after entering my Vin, it says this car has no active recalls.

My husband a I were driving down the highway and all of a sudden a loud sound a bam the air bag in the passenger seat blew open and dang near gave my husband whiplash. Also I have had the thermostat replaced 3 times in 2 years and the car is still overheating. The ABS sensor will not go off and its like the emergency brake is stuck. I can be driving and when I try to stop it is like its locking up.

The contact owns a 2013 Dodge Avenger. The contact stated that while driving approximately 55 mph, the driver seat headrest restraint was erroneously deployed. The contact indicated that during the incident the vehicle had not crashed or abruptly stopped to cause the headrest restraint to deploy. During the incident, the contact sustained an injured neck. No medical treatment was required. The cause of the failure was not determined. The local dealer and manufacturer were not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 133,000.

3/24/2022, Mileage 102742. Airbag light intermittently turns on and off.

Purchased this car 3 yrs a go about 2 weeks ago the airbag light remains on constantly the car was parked but remains on constantly. The car has 107K I search for recall on this site and nothing even though there are over 485 complaints for the same issue. What does it take to get this NOTICED by MOPAR this is obviously a safety hazard. I bet if one of MOPAR's dependents was driving a 2013 Dodge Avenger they would get it fixed TODAY for free via a recall are you listening MOPAR??? I am sure you read these complaints. I will contact a Chrysler dealer in the area and see if they will do the right thing and fix this safety issue for free but after reading all these complaints looks like a losing battle. MOPAR is you want to have customers buy your cars do the right thing a get a recall out on this airbag issue.

The air bag light turns on and off while driving, along with a ding, indicating that there is a problem with the air bag.

WHEN I START MY CAR WHICH IS STATIONARY THE AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON & DINGS (LIKE THE SEATBELT WARNING) IT DINGS LIKE 2 TIMES. THEN AS I DRIVE ON CITY STREETS & HIGHWAYS, WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION THE LIGHT WILL COME ON & GO OFF RANDOMLY. THIS DOESN'T HAPPEN EVERY TIME THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY OR IN MOTION, HOWEVER IT DOES HAPPEN WAY MORE OFTEN THAN NOT. AND I'M AFRAID FOR MY SAFETY & THE SAFETY OF MY PASSENGERS. WHAT IF THE AIRBAGS DO NOT DEPLOY TO HELP SAVE ANYONE? I HAVE READ OTHER CUSTOMERS COMPLAINING OF THIS EXACT SAME THING HAPPENING WITH THEIR VEHILCES, YET THERE IS NO RECALL?

THE HEADRESTS IN MY DODGE AVENGER HAVE POPPED FORWARD SEVERAL TIMES. SOMETIMES THEY WOULD POP FORWARD MERELY FROM THE HEAT, AS I LIVE IN A VERY HOT AREA. I HAD THE ORC REPLACED AS PART OF SAFETY RECALL S61, HOWEVER THE VEHICLES SAFETY IS REDUCED BECAUSE THE HEADRESTS WILL NOT STAY LOCKED IN DUE TO BROKEN PLASTIC LOCKS WHICH ARE SUPPOSED TO HOLD IT BACK. APPARENTLY THE HEADRESTS ARE NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL AS IT CURRENTLY STANDS. THE CAR IS UNCOMFORTABLE TO DRIVE, AND IN THE CASE OF AN ACCIDENT, THE HEADRESTS WILL NOT BE ABLE TO DEPLOY SINCE THEY ARE NOW PERMANENTLY DEPLOYED. I THOUGHT THE HEADRESTS WERE ALREADY COVERED BY THE PREVIOUS RECALL, WHICH IS WHY I AM FILING NOW.

GOOD AFTERNOON, TO WHOM THIS MAY CONCERN.

THEY ARE ASKING ME TO PAY $139.00 FOR THEM TO FIND THE ISSUE AND THEN PAY ANOTHER EXTRA AMOUNT TO RESOLVE THIS MATTER. THEY ARE REFUSING TO FIX THIS ISSUE WITHOUT A COST AND IT HAS BEEN WAY TOO LONG TRYING TO GET THIS RESOLVED.

AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON FROM A WHILE, AFTER CHECKING THE ERROR CODES, DUE HEAD SET RESTRAINT CONTROLLER. NOT SURE WHAT TO DO

THE PASSENAGER HEAD RESTRAINT SYSTEM IS THROWING AN ERROR THEY CANNOT FIGURE OUT. THE LOCAL SERVICE DEPARTMENT, AND CHRYSLER'S STAR TEAM (ENGINEERS) CANNOT FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM. THEY HAVE HAD MY CAR FOR FIVE WEEKS. IT'S TIME FOR THEM TO REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE VEHICLE.

8-21-2017 HAD A RECALL PREFORMED FOR A AIRBAG ISSUE. AFTER THE REPAIR WAS DONE THERE WAS STILL A CODE IN THE SYSTEM FOR THE DRIVER ACTIVE HEADREST CONTROL CIRCUIT OPEN. I HAD ALREADY INVESTIGATED THE AIRBAG LIGHT ( MARCH 2017) AND FOUND MANY SITES STATING A BROKEN WIRE IN DRIVERS SEAT. WHEN I GOT THE CAR HOME I FINALLY INVESTIGATE THE WIRE ISSUE AND FOUND THE BLACK WIRE APPROXIMATELY 2 INCHES BEFORE A YELLOW CONNECTOR WHERE A PLASTIC STRETCHER WAS APPLIED BROKEN INSIDE THE FIBER COVERING OF THE 2 WIRES. I WAS A MECHANIC FOR 30 YEARS SO I STRIPPED THE WIRES AND REATTACHED. THE LIGHT IS STILL ON SO I AM THINKING WHEN IT BROKE OR WHAT EVER IT CAUSED A SYSTEM ISSUE AND THAT THIS WAS A KNOWN ISSUE AND SHOULD BE REPAIRED BY CHRYSLER AT NO CHARGE. THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN ONE OF THE BEST CHRYSLER PRODUCTS I HAVE OWNED. THE SERVICE TECHNICIAN SAID IT COULD COST AROUND 400 TO FIX.
