SERVICE AIRBAG INDICATOR LIGHT KEEPS RANDOMLY (STARTING, MOTION, STATIONARY, ANY TIME) COMING ON, TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AND AFTER HOURS OF DIAGNOSTIC TESTING THEY CAME UP WITH THAT I NEED A NEW SEAT AIR BAG. I KNOW MANY OTHER CHRYSLER PRODUCTS HAVE HAD RECALLS FOR AIR BAG MALFUNCTIONS AND UPON DOING RESEARCH, DISCOVERED OTHER 2013 DART OWNERS HAVE HAD SIMILAR OR WORSE ISSUES WITH THEIR AIR BAG SYSTEMS. I ALSO DISCOVERED THAT 421 2013 DODGE DART MOPAR 13 SPECIAL-EDITION MODELS WERE RECALLED DUE TO POTENTIAL AIR BAG PROBLEMS, BUT IT WAS STATED ONLY THE SPECIAL EDITION MODELS WERE AFFECTED. DID THESE 2013 MODELS REALLY HAVE DIFFERENT AIR BAG SYSTEMS THAN THE REST OF THE 2013 DARTS?

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE DART. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, THE AIR BAG INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. IN ADDITION, THE AIR CONDITIONER COMPRESSOR SWITCH FRACTURED ON THE VEHICLE. IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000.

THE AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON ANYTIME THE OUTDOOR TEMPERATURE IS ABOVE AROUND 85 DEGREES. THE DODGE DEALERSHIP SAYS NOTHING IS WRONG, BUT THE LIGHT STILL COMES ON. MY CAR WAS IN THE SHOP MULTIPLE TIMES FOR ISSUES WITH THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. THE BATTERY HAS BEEN REPLACED 2-3 TIMES SINCE 2013. INTERIOR LIGHTS SOMETIMES FLICKER. THE NAVIGATION SYSTEM RESETS ITSELF RANDOMLY AND NOW IT CAN'T "FIND" THE MAPS. THEY ARE JUST GONE SOMEHOW. THE SD CARD SLOT WORKS SOMETIMES AND NOT OTHERS, SAME WITH THE BACKUP CAMERA. DODGE HAS BEEN COMPLETELY UNABLE TO FIX THESE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE DART. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V800000 (AIR BAGS) HOWEVER, THE PARTS TO DO THE REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE.

I HAVE ONLY HADE MY DART FOR 1 YEAR WITH 55K ON IT.... IN THAT TIME IT HAS HADE 25K IN DEALERSHIP REPAIRS... I HAVE REPLACED ALL 4 COIL PACKS, SPARK PLUGS, AND FULE INJECTURES ON MY OWN DIME... THE EBREAK HAS BIN REPLACED ONCE AND AGAIN IT IS NOT WORKING AGAIN. THE AIR BAG LIKE CAME ON AND NO ONE CAN SIT IN THE PASS SEAT BECAUSE THE SEAT BELT BUCKY WONT READ ITS CONNECTED N BEEPS ALL THE TIME.. THE LOW OIL PRESSURE LIGHT COMES ON AND OFF.. IT HAS A KNOCK,AND TICK AT IDOL BUT GOES AWAY AFTER 3K RPM. I HAVE HADE NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR AND I AM STUCK WITH IT FOR 5 MORE YEARS... THIS IS BY FAR THE BIGGEST WASTE OF MONEY I HAVE EVER HADE
