AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, SEATS
TOOK THE TRUCK IN FOR SERVICE ON AIR BAG LIGHT ISSUE TO THE DEALER, LAWTON CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM'S TRUCK CENTER LOCATED AT 215 SE INTERSTATE DR., LAWTON, OK 73501. I WAS INFORMED BY AN EMPLOYEE THAT THE AIRBAG LIGHT WAS A COMMON ISSUE DUE TO A BAD DESIGN AND A CHEAP PLASTIC WIRING HARNESS LOCATED UNDER THE DRIVER SIDE SEAT. ANY SEAT ADJUSTMENTS, LOOSE OBJECTS ROLLING UNDER THE SEAT, OR EVEN A REAR PASSENGERS FOOT COULD POTENTIAL MAKE CONTACT WITH THE HARNESS IN A MANNER THAT BREAKS IT AND MAY TRIGGER THE AIRBAG LIGHT TO COME ON.. INTERSTATE DR. MARTIN OK 73501 I WAS INFORMED BY EMPLOYEE THAT THE AIRBAG LIGHT WAS A COMMON ISSUE DUE TO A BAD DESIGN IN THE CHEAP PLASTIC WIRING HARNESS LOCATED UNDER THE DRIVER SIDE SEAT IN THE SEAT THAT JUST MEANT LOOSE OBJECTS ROLLING UNDER THE SEAT OR EVEN A REAR PASSENGERS FOOT COULD POTENTIAL MAKE CONTACT WITH THE HARNESS IN A MANNER THAT BREAKS THE PLASTIC PART. THIS WOULD TRIGGER THE AIRBAG LIGHT. MY CONCERN IS, WILL THE AIRBAG FUNCTION PROPERLY IF I'M IN AN ACCIDENT? *DT DODGE ADMITTED IT WAS POOR DESIGN.*JB

DURING HEAVY RAIN THE BACK DRIVER SIDE WELL (UNDERNEATH REAR SEAT-STORAGE AREA) FILLS WITH WATER. I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT TOMORROW TO DIAGNOSIS THE ISSUE. I BELIEVE THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH THE REAR WINDOW DRAIN HOLES BEING PLUGGED BUT NOT CERTAIN. ONLY A YEAR OLD AND SURPRISED THIS OCCURRED. CHECKED YOUTUBE AND FOUND THIS ISSUE WITH OLDER MODELS OF RAM TRUCKS. ITS TAKEN A ACT OF CONGRESS TO GET DEALER TO SCHEDULE A FIX FOR THIS PROBLEM. WENT TO LOCAL DEALER AND THEY TRIED TO REDIRECT TO A WATER SPECIALIST LOCALLY. THEY WERE AVOIDING THE WARRANTY OR JUST PLAIN LAZY. COME ON DODGE YOU CAN DO BETTER. I HAVE NOTICED THIS FROM THE TRUCK BEING PARKED IN FRONT OF MY HOME. I NOW PLACE TOWELS TO CAPTURE WATER ON RAINY DAYS.

AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
AS OF YET, THERE HAS NOT BEEN AN ACCIDENT HAPPEN. HOWEVER, I JUST FINISHED A 15 MILE DRIVE AND MY AIRBAG LIGHT AND THE MESSAGE "SERVICE AIRBAG SYSTEM" HAS COME ON AND OFF 6 TIMES AT RANDOM. IN DOING MY OWN RESEARCH, IF THE CLOCKSPRING IN THE WHEEL WHICH CONNECTS THE AIRBAG LOSES CONNECTION IT WILL CAUSE THAT FAULT POSSIBLY LEADING TO AN AIRBAG FAILURE TO DEPLOY IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT. THIS HAPPENED BOTH WHILE MOVING AND ALSO WHILE STATIONARY.
