jaymista Posted August 23, 2009 Report Share Posted August 23, 2009 I am having a problem with my Journey in that sometimes when I turn my steering wheel to the right I'll get an audio "ding" sound and my airbag light will come on. It only stays on for a few seconds and then shuts off. This is very annoying, especially the "ding" sound. I took the car into my dealer and, after investigating the problem, I was asked to just put up with it and told that the air bag would not pop out accidentally. Why can't this be repaired? Has anyone else had this problem? What might be causing this to happen? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has anyone else had this problem? What might be causing this to happen? I would try another dealer. The air bag light only comes on when there is a failure in the diagnostics mode on startup or a sensor or electrical integrity error while driving. At present, your air bag might not deploy in an accident. I would go to another dealer ASAP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OhareFred Posted April 16, 2015 Report Share Posted April 16, 2015 Wasn't there a recall on the clock spring? That could be causing the issue. Never ignor the airbag light! If on your airbags don't work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
11journeybama Posted April 17, 2015 Report Share Posted April 17, 2015 (edited) I don't know anything about cars. All I can do is post useless memes. I do like puppies though. And chickens. Edited August 5, 2016 by jkeaton dhh3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Efe Kagho Posted August 21, 2016 Report Share Posted August 21, 2016 Has anyone had this problem solved? My 2010 Dodge Journey R/T is having the air bag light coming on as I drive. I'll appreciate any breakthrough! Thank you all! dhh3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkeaton Posted August 21, 2016 Report Share Posted August 21, 2016 Air bag issues are something best left to the dealer to diagnose. dhh3 and 2late4u 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dhh3 Posted August 21, 2016 Report Share Posted August 21, 2016 If the DJ is like the Nitro, the controller (Electronic box) is located under the console. Has any liquid from the cup holders gotten down there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
