2007 Dodge Nitro 4X4 airbag problems

AIR BAGS

AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON AND WON'T GO OFF AND VEHICLE WAS NOT IN AN ACCIDENT TO CAUSE THIS OCCURANCE! MY SON AND FIANC WERE JUST N A HORRIFIC ACCIDENT IN MY FIANC'S CHEVY AVALANCHE THAT CAUSED THE TRUCK TO ROLL AND OUR FRIEND, PASSENGER IN THE VEHICLE, TO BEN KILLED. NOW MY SPECIAL NEEDS 10YEAR OLD WON'T GET IN THIS NEW CAR BECAUSE BABY HE'S AFRAID SINCE THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON IT WILL CAUSE US TO GET INTO A VEHICLE. I NEED A SOLID RESOLUTION TO THIS ASAP! I JUST FINALLY GOT HIM TO RIDE IN A VEHICLE AGAIN!

TAKATA RECALL - THE NITRO WAS IN MOTION WHEN THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON AND WHEN THE WHITE PLASTIC STRIP CAME STICKING OUT OF MY STEERING WHEEL COLUMN. BEFORE THE WHITE PLASTIC STRIP CAME STICKING OUT BEHIND THE STEERING WHEEL, IT SOUNDED LIKE SOMETHING WAS RUBBING OR GRINDING EVERY TIME I WOULD TURN THE STEERING WHEEL. THE EBS/BAS LIGHT AND THE SLIPPERY WHEN WET LIGHT ALSO CAME ON. NOW THE NITRO WAS STATIONARY WHEN IT WON'T START AND IT WILL CLICK ONE TIME ALONG WITH THE DASH BOARD LIGHTS COMING ON AND THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WILL TURN ON AUTOMATICALLY. COULD THIS BE AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM OR SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE AIRBAG?

THE DRIVERS SIDE AIRBAG ATTACHED TO THE STEERING WHEEL JUST FELL OFF AS MY WIFE WAS DRIVING. LUCKILY IT DID NOT DEPLOY, BUT SHE WAS NEVER INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT. IT JUST FELL OFF AS SHE WAS MAKING A RIGHT TURN FROM THE CITY STREET. DANBURY DODGE REFUSES TO REPLACE THE AIR BAG SAYING IT IS OUT OF ITS WARRANTY PERIOD

AIR BAGS:FRONTAL

I HAVE HAD A CONTINUOUS PROBLEMS WITH STALLING, TRANSMISSION, AND BRAKING WITH MY NEW VEHICLE! THE DEALER DID THE RECALLS THE REPROGRAMMING FOR ALL COMPONTENTS AND EVEN REPLACED A KINKED FUEL LINE AND THEY DID NOT DOCUMENT THAT THEY REPLACED IT, THEY TOLD ME THAT IT WASN'T AVAILABLE FROM DODGE SO THEY SAID THEY PULLED IT OFF ONE ON THE LOT! THE TRANSMISSION SLIPS, CHUGS, CHATTERS, SHUDDERS,EVERYTHING THAT A TRANSMISSION IS NOT SUSPOSTO DO! SO THEY REPLACED THE TORQUE CONVERTER,I GOT IT BACK AND AFTER ABOUT 20 MINUTES OF DRIVING THE SAME PROBLEMS STARTED AGAIN JUST NOT AS BAD, EACH TIME I DRIVE IT IT GETS WORST JUST NOT AS FREQUENT,NOW WITH THE BRAKES, THE ESP/BAS LIGHT COMES ON, WHEN ITS ON THE BRAKES ARE REAL TOUCHY LIKE SUDDEN STOPPING ,AND LUNGING YOU FORWARD, THE DEALER CUT THE ROTORS FOR A PULSATION BUT DID NOTHING ABOUT THE LIGHT COMING ON! I GUESS IF THE COMPUTER DOESN'T SAY THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG THEN NOTHING IS, A COMPUTER IS ONLY AS SMART AS WHO PROGRAMMED IT! THERE ARE MANY OTHER PROBLEMS, ITS BEEN IN THE DEALER 3 TIMES FOR A TOTAL OF TEN DAYS SO FAR MAINLY THE SAME THREE COMPONENTS WELL I HAVE TO TAKE IT BACK AGAIN BECAUSE THERE IS STILL SOMETHING WRONG WITH IT, AND NOW THE ENGINE HAS A LOUD TICK, AND A HISSING SOUND ALONG WITH THE SAME CONCERNS AS BEFORE.
