At less than 73,000 miles on vehicle and just six years old the air bag light will go off and on. The light will blink on and off at all times then will go off for weeks then come back on and stay on. This is a safety issue that must get fixed by manufacturer.

My 2012 dodge durango has faulty wiring that is causing my air bags to not work. If the faulty wiring is not replaced then the airbags can explode at any time while driving, i have a 100 mile warranty and dodge is saying that they will not cover the faulty wiring that they installed. It will cost $1300 to have the defect fixed.
