2011 DODGE CHALLENGER Air Bags Problems

Read an air bag code that is B1CD2 which I think is park of the air bag wiring harness that was recalled on similar models and year but doesn’t seem to have been on mine. I just want to know if this would be part of that recall?

I had the dealership fix a recall (N9C07) for the passenger seat wiring harness connector for the passenger side airbag a while back. My airbag warning lamp turned on recently and my mechanic told me it was that same issue that the recall was supposed to fix. I was told by the dealer that since this was replaced once already, they refused to replace it again. This is a major safety concern if the passenger side airbag does not deploy correctly. It is outrageous that their part is malfunctioning at no fault of my own and they refuse to fix it.

My vehicle was inspected for recall 13V-118, however the part was not replaced and is now having intermittent electrical issues, disconnecting the air bag system. I would like to have the vehicle re-inspected under this same recall and the problem corrected.

THE AIRBAG WARNING SIGN WILL SOMETIMES APPEAR AND THEN DISAPPEARS. LATELY IT WILL NOT DISAPPEAR

TAKATA RECALL POWER STERN TIGHT ALTERNATOR RECAL AND AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON AND WON'T GO OFF

ON APRIL 6, 2019, WHILE I WAS DRIVING, MY AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON AND STAYED SOLID RED, THEN IT WOULD GO OFF AND ON WITH CHIMING SOUND. BECAUSE MY 2011 CHALLENGER IS NOT IN RECALL, DEALER WILL CHARGE UNWARRANTED COST.

TAKATA RECALL. MY AIRBAG LIGHT RANDOMLY TURNS ON AND OFF. AT TIMES WHILE DRIVING, THE LIGHT FLASHES ON AND OFF AND IT CONTINUOUSLY BEEPS. ITS NERVE WRECKING WHILE I'M DRIVING ON LOCAL ROADS AND EVEN MORE WHEN FRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY; HAS ME VERY CONCERNED. IT STARTED MARCH 23RD AND SINCE THEN, ITS BEEN DOING IT RANDOMLY.

AIR BAGS GO ON AND OFF RANDOMLY AS DESCRIBED IN NHTSA #13V118000. CHRYSLER SAYS MY CAR IS NOT INCLUDED IN THAT RECALL AND REFUSE TO EVEN LOOK AT IT. EVERY TIME I HIT A BUMP MY AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON OR GOES OFF. MOST OF THE TIME MY AIRBAGS DO NOT WORK.

MY AIRBAG IS SHOWING THAT THERE IS AN ISSUE. I HAVE BEEN CONTINUOUSLY CHECKING THE RECALLS FOR MY VIN SINCE THE BEGINNING OF THIS RECALL NOTICE AND MY VEHICLE IS STILL NOT ONE THAT APPEARS TO BE ON THE LIST FOR RECALL. I AM SURE IT NEEDS TO BE. I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO. I BELIEVE THAT MY CAR SHOULD HAVE THE NECESSARY "LIFE SAVING" REPAIRS COMPLETED AT NO CHARGE TO ME SINCE THIS IS A RECALL ISSUE.

TAKATA RECALL. I RECEIVED A LETTER ABOUT THIS RECALL MONTHS AGO. IT SAID THEY DONT HAVE THE PARTS TO REPAIR THIS ISSUE YET. I CHECKED ONLINE TODAY AND IT STILL SAYS THERE IS NO RESOLUTION. THIS SEEMS LIKE A SERIOUS ISSUE. I COULD DIE IF MY AIRBAG DEPLOYS! I DON'T FEEL THEY ARE HANDLING THIS FAST ENOUGH. THE RECALL DATE IS JULY 1, 2016! WHAT'S THE HOLD UP??? PEOPLE'S LIVES ARE AT STAKE HERE!

I WAS NOTIFIED OF THE RECALL BY MAIL. I CALLED NORTHWEST DODGE IN MAY TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT. THEY VERIFIED THEY HAD THE PART, PUT I NEEDED TO WAIT 10 DAYS TO SCHEDULE. BROUGHT CAR IN AND AFTER 40 MINUTES WAS TOLD PART WAS NOT AVAILABLE. IT IS ALMOST OCTOBER AND NOT FURTHER NOTIFICATION AND AS OF LAST WEEK, PART STILL NOT AVAILABLE.

THE WIRES/CONNECTOR FOR THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG SENSOR ARE LOCATED UNDER THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE SEAT. HOWEVER, THE WIRES AND CONNECTION FITTING EASILY BECOME EITHER DISCONNECTED OR FOULED WITH GRIME (AS REPORTED BY THE DEALER) SO AS TO CAUSE THE SYSTEM TO TAKE THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG OFFLINE. WHEN THIS HAPPENS AND A PERSON IS SITTING IN THE SEAT, IT FLASHES THE WARNING LIGHT ON THE DASH THAT THE AIRBAG IS NOT OPERABLE. THIS HAS HAPPENED AND BEEN REPAIRED AT LEAST TWICE BEFORE IF NOT THREE TIMES, AND THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT CAME ON YET GAIN THIS MORNING. I HAVE HAD REPAIRS ON THIS SAME SYSTEM ALONE TWICE SINCE NOVEMBER 2015, AND HERE WE HAVE YET A THIRD FAILURE OF THE EXACT SAME SYSTEM, EXACT SAME PART, EXACT SOME COUPLER, WITHIN 6 OR 7 MONTHS. I ASKED LAST TIME THEY FIXED IT THAT THEY USE A HEAT GUN AND SHRINK WRAP ON THE FITTING TO PREVENT THIS HAPPENING AGAIN AND APPARENTLY THEY DID NOT. OF COURSE, DODGE SHOULD NOT HAVE DESIGNED A CRITICAL SAFETY COMPONENT IN A WAY THAT ALLOWS SIMPLE DUST OR GRIME TO GET INTO IT AND FOUL THE SYSTEM, RENDERING AN AIRBAG INOPERABLE. OH AND I HAVE LESS THAN 45,000 MILES ON THIS VEHICLE.

FROM THE TIME I START UP MY VEHICLE, UNTIL THE TIME I TURN THE VEHICLE OFF, THE AIRBAG LIGHT KEEPS CHIMING AND TURNS ON AND OFF AND DOESN'T STOP. THE VEHICLE WAS AT THE DEALERSHIP WHEN THIS HAPPENED BUT THE DODGE SERVICE TECH WAS UNABLE TO SCAN THE VEHICLE WITH HIS DIAGNOSTIC TOOL DUE TO THE LIGHT NOT STAYING ON. I NOTICED A RECALL FOR CERTAIN 2011-2012 DODGE CHALLENGERS BUILT BETWEEN APRIL 11, 2011 THROUGH DECEMBER 14, 2011 REGARDING THE "SEAT WIRING HARNESS CONNECTORS" (RECALL #N07/ NHTSA 13V-118). I CONTACTED THE FCA RECALL CENTER FOR CHRYSLER/ DODGE AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT MY VEHICLE DOESN'T QUALIFY FOR THE RECALL BECAUSE MY CHALLENGER WAS BUILT ON MARCH 23, 2011. MY CHALLENGER WAS BUILT TWO WEEKS BEFORE THE "AFFECTED" BUILD DATES AND HAVE THE SAME EXACT CONNECTORS SPECIFIED IN THE RECALL NOTICE. WHY WOULDN'T MY VEHICLE'S SEAT WIRING HARNESS CONNECTORS BE CONSIDERED DEFECTIVE?? I WORK AS A FEDERAL LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICER AND AM CURRENTLY DRIVING TO AND FROM WORK TO DEFEND THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA FROM ANY AND ALL THREATS BUT IF I GOT INTO AN ACCIDENT, I'M NOT SAFE IN MY OWN VEHICLE, WHICH WAS MANUFACTURED IN THE USA.

AFTER PURCHASING THE 2011 DODGE CHALLENGER IN DECEMBER 2015 THE CAR SEAT BELT SENOR HAS BEEN REPAIRED; NOW IN JANUARY 2016 THE AIRBAG LIGHT INDICATOR STAYS ON AFTER BEING IN MOTION FOR 15 MINUTES. HAS BOTH THE RECALLS BEEN PROPERLY REPAIRED?

NHTSA RECALL NUMBER 13V-118, RECALL DATE 4/17/2013, MANUFACTURER RECALL NUMBER N07. THE FRONT SEAT AIRBAG WIRING ELECTRICAL CONNECTORS MAY HAVE AN INTERMITTENT ELECTRICAL CONNECTION. IF AN INTERMITTENT ELECTRICAL CONNECTION EXISTS DURING A SIDE IMPACT THE FRONT SEAT AIRBAG LOCATED AT THE OUTBOARD SIDE OF SEATBACK MAY NOT DEPLOY AS INTENDED. THIS COULD CAUSE ADDITIONAL INJURY TO FRONT SEAT OCCUPANTS DURING A SIDE IMPACT COLLISION. THE FRONT SEAT AIRBAG WIRE HARNESS FOR BOTH FRONT SEATS MUST BE INSPECTED AND REPLACED IF NECESSARY. RECALL STATUS: RECALL INCOMPLETE

AIR BAG LIGHT CONTINUES TO COME ON AND OFF, SIGNALING MY AIR BAGS ARE NOT WORKING WHEN THE LIGHT IS ON. I FOUND ONLINE THAT CHRYSLER RECALLED 2011-2013 DODGE CHALLENGERS IN 2013 FOR THIS EXACT ISSUE, HOWEVER WHEN I BROUGHT MY CAR TO A DODGE DEALER, THEY SAY MY VIN IS NOT IN THE SYSTEM FOR A RECALL. BECAUSE IT'S NOT IN THE SYSTEM AS A RECALL, I AM TO PAY OUT OF POCKET? THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT COULD CAUSE A FATALITY IF I AM IN A WRECK WHILE THE LIGHT IS ON. CHRYSLER SHOULD HONOR THEIR CONSUMERS' SAFETY AND HANDLE THIS BEFORE SOMETHING HAPPENS. I FOUND ON FORUMS THAT MANY CHALLENGER OWNERS HAVE HAD THE SAME EXPERIENCE. SEE LINK BELOW TO RECALL INFO.

I HAVE 2 RECALLS PENDING ON MY DODGE CHALLENGER, ONE FOR FRONT AIRBAGS FAILING AND ONE FOR THE ALTERNATOR DIODES POSSIBLY CAUSING FIRE. DODGE WANTS TO TAKE MY CAR FOR 2 DAYS BUT I HAVE NO OTHER VEHICLE. I ASKED HOW WAS I SUPPOSED TO GET HOME, THEY SAID A BUS OR TAXI. I AM NOT TAKING A TAXI AN HOUR RIDE TO GET HOME, THEN TO AND FROM WORK BECAUSE THEY WANT TO RECALL MY CAR, SO I ASKED FOR A LOANER AND WAS TOLD NO. I KEEP CALLING THEIR RECALL ASSISTANCE CENTER, AND THEY TELL ME THAT THEIR SYSTEM IS DOWN AND TO CALL BACK AT ANOTHER TIME. HOW IS THEIR SYSTEM ALWAYS DOWN? WHY DO I HAVE TO SPEND MONEY OUT OF POCKET ON A TEMPORARY VEHICLE SO THEY CAN FIX THEIR OWN RECALL? I CAN'T AFFORD TO RENT A CAR OR USE A TAXI (BUSSES DON'T RUN THROUGH MY AREA). SO I TAKE OFF OF WORK AND POSSIBLY GET FIRED, OR CONTINUE TO DRIVE A DEFECTIVE VEHICLE AND POSSIBLY DIE? *TR

THE AIR BAG LIGHT ON MY 2011 CHALLENGER KEEPS COMING ON FOR NO REASON . I FOUND ON LINE THAT THEY WERE BEING RECALLED FOR FAULTY WIRING CONNECTERS ON THE PASSENGER AND DRIVER SIDE SEAT AIR BAGS . I CONTACTED THE DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME I HAD TO WAIT FOR A RECALL NOTICE AND I HAVE NOT GOTTEN ONE . I CONTACTED CHRYSLER AND THEY TELL ME TO GET IT FIX AND PAY FOR IT MY SELF BECAUSE THE RECALL IS VIN SPECIFIC . IF THEY NO THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH FAULTY PARTS ,I THINK THEY SHOULD HAVE TO TAKE CARE OF IT NO CHARGE. *TR

I WAS RETURNING TO WORK FROM LUNCH AND I WAS DRIVING SOUTH IN THE COMPANY PARKING LOT GOING NO FASTER THAN 5-10 MPH. I STARTED TO MAKE A RIGHT TURN INTO A PARKING SPACE SO THAT I COULD BACK INTO THE PARKING SPACE DIRECTLY BEHIND IT. AS I STARTED TO MAKE THE TURN I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE GAS AND PLACED IT ON THE BRAKE SO I COULD COME TO A COMPLETE STOP BEFORE I BACKED UP INTO THE SPACE BEHIND ME. AS I HAD MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE THE CAR ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN AND BECAUSE I HAD NO TIME TO REACT THE CAR PLOWED THROUGH A TREE, SOME HEAVY VEGETATION AND DOWN AN EMBANKMENT. THERE WAS SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE TO THE FRONT OF THE CAR, AS A RESULT OF THE IMPACT WITH THE TREE, WHICH CAUSED THE ENTIRE BUMPER TO FALL OFF AND DESTROYED. YET, THE AIRBAGS, WHICH WERE RECALLED AND ALREADY "SERVICED" ONCE BEFORE, NEVER DEPLOYED. *TR

I RECEIVED A NOTICE FROM CHRYSLER ON 5/10/2013 STATING "THE FRONT SEAT AIRBAG WIRING ELECTRICAL CONNECTORS ON YOUR VEHICLE MAY HAVE AN INTERMITTENT ELECTRICAL CONNECTION. IF AN INTERMITTENT ELECTRICAL CONNECTION EXISTS DURING SIDE IMPACT, THE FRONT SEAT AIRBAG LOCATED AT THE OUTBOARD SIDE OF THE SEATBACK MAY NOT DEPLOY AS INTENDED. THIS COULD CAUSE ADDITIONAL INJURY TO FRONT SEAT OCCUPANTS DURING A SIDE IMPACT COLLISION." I'VE SPOKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP TWICE AND THEY KEEP TELLING ME THE PART NEEDED TO CORRECT THIS IS ON BACKORDER. IF I WERE TO GET IN AN ACCIDENT AND THE FRONT PASSENGER GETS INJURED BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM NOT BEING CORRECTED COULD I SUE CHRYSLER FOR A GAZILLION DOLLARS? I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER PRODUCT FROM THEM. THIS IS BEYOND LUDICROUS TO WAIT THIS LONG. I COULD HAVE BUILT THIS ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR 100 TIMES IN THE PAST 2 MONTHS! *TR

BOUGHT CAR USED. AFTER 3 DAYS OF HAVING IT THE AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON, AND WILL NOT GO OUT. TOOK CAR TO DEALER THEY SAY IT IS IN THE HARNESS UNDER THE PASSENGER SEAT. THEY ARE TRYING TO GET THE CORRECT HARNESS SO FAR 2 WHERE SHIPPED TO THEM AND THEY WERE THE WRONG ONE. THEY REALLY DON;T HAVE A ANSWER. ACCORDING TO DEALER ALOT OF CHALLENGERS ARE HAVING THIS PROBLEM. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL FROM WHAT I HAVE FOUND OUT ON THE INTERNET. THIS IS A BIG PROBLEM FOR DODGE. *TR

MY 2011 DODGE CHALLENGER WAS IN A HEAD ON ACCIDENT. THE IMPACT PUSH THE MOTOR UNDER THE DASH, CRACKED THE TRANSMISSION, CRUMBLED THE FRONT OF THE CAR ALMOST TO THE WINDSHIELD. THE CHALLENGER HAS AN AIR BAG ON THE SEAT, WELL THAT AIR BAG; NOR THE AIR BAG ON THE WINDSHIELD PILLAR OR THE STEERING WHEEL OR PASSENGER AIR BAG DEPLOY. NOT ONLY DID THE AIR BAGS FAIL, BUT THE SEAT BELT DID NOT LOCK TO RESTRAIN A PERSON FROM AVOIDING INJURY. THIS IS MY SECOND CHALLENGER, MY FIRST CHALLENGER HAD A BAD PAINT JOB AND THIS ONE COULD OF COST ME MY LIFE. I HAVE THE VEHICLE, AWAITING FOR DODGE TO INSPECTION THE DEFECTS. IT HAS BEEN 5 DAYS AND I HAVE YET TO HEAR FROM DODGE NOR ARE MY CALLS BEING RETURNED. *TR

THE AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON AND THE AIRBAG WILL NOT DEPLOY WERE AN ACCIDENT TO HAPPEN. IT IS THE DRIVER SIDE FRONT DEPLOY AIRBAG. THIS CAN BE TURNED OFF BY WIGGLING A WIRE AND CONNECTOR UNDER THE REAR OF THE DRIVER'S SEAT. THE LIGHT AND DISABLING OF THE AIRBAG HAPPEN AT RANDOM TIMES AND ANY TIME YOU INCREASE SPEED QUICKLY (IE. FREEWAY ON RAMPS). THIS IS AGAIN REMEDIED BY A GIGGLING THE WIRES AND CONNECTOR BEHIND AND UNDER THE DRIVER. I CAN DISABLE THE AIRBAG ANYTIME BY WIGGLING THE WIRE UNDER THE SEAT, IF DRIVING PRIOR TO THE INDICATOR COMING ON. I WILL TAKE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP ALTHOUGH SEVERAL OTHER OWNERS HAVE BEEN UNSUCCESSFUL IN THEIR MANY ATTEMPTS. THE PROBLEM IS ALSO BEING REPORTED ON LINE BY OWNERS OF NEW 2012 MODELS. *TR
