About 2 months after the purchase of the 2005 Dodge Magnum, the seatbelt light came on. We took the vehicle to the Jeep/Dodge/Chrysler dealership in carthage, ms where the clock spring was replaced. About 10 miles traveling after leaving the dealership, the seatbelt light came back on and the incessant dinging finally quit. We had the clock spring replace again after about two weeks as we were traveling. We took our vehicle in for the airbag recall and have had the airbags replaced under recall and now have another recall on the airbags. The seatbelt light has been brought to our attention, but we cannot afford to have this replaced at our expense again. We have had it corrected one time at our expense, but cannot do this again. I feel it is incumbent upon dailmer Chrysler to recall these vehicles and have this problem repaired at their expense as the everyday customer cannot continue to afford to pay for a problem that should have had a recall issued years ago. The same problem continues to this day with newer vehicles than ours. I was involved in a rear-end collision about three years ago at which time our body shop replaced the clock spring again and it has come on again. I had my brakes to the floor, the airbags did not inflate, and I rear-ended at about 25 miles per hour. This is a serious problem and NHTSA should recall these vehicles immediately.

Takata recall. When I had the first recall they replaced the air bag and when they did now the turn signals will not turn off by themselves and the steering wheel makes a popping noise when driving down the road and making a turn.I have no idea what they did when they replaced the drivers side air bag but that is the trouble I am having with my Magnum now and you want me to let them do it again. They need to repair the first mistake first but it is my only way around and no dealer will loan out.
The vehicle was I nvolved in a front on collision and the driver air bag never deployed. It was turning left on to a one lane two way street. The other vehicle involved when into the intersection and should have waited, I went as it was
