Hello just the other day I noticed that the airbag light came on.the one on the cluster on the drivers side.I tried resetting it works for a minute and it pops back on.did some research on the web and it stated that I was a common problem in the 05 Magnum. If that's the reason how come they didn't recall the vehicles.big mistake if the lights on guess what get in a crash airbag won't work.that can be real bad like a life being lost and we don't need that at all.

I christopher sims was in a mva 3-24-09. A truck hit me head-on at over 30-35 miles an hour and the airbag did not deploy. You could see the sensor as plain as day. I did sustain injuries from the accident. What do I need to do about this problem?
