Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Air bag light on dashboard started blinking on and off, brought vehicle to dodge dealer to diagnose problem. i was informed that the airbag lock spring was defective and needed replacement. this item is not covered by any type of warranty or extended warranty from dodge. there are many complaints about airbag failing to deploy in accidents and injuries involved with it. the airbag is a safety feature in the vehicle and the dealer or the manufacturing company should be responsible for repairs and any damages caused by faulty equipment. i contacted the local dealer and dodge corp. they said that there is nothing they can do. i do not believe that, im a very unsatisfied customer. *nm
