Some Dodge Avenger owners report experiencing unexpected airbag deployments while driving, which can pose serious risks to both the driver and passengers. This issue may stem from a faulty sensor in the airbag system, leading to the airbag light activating and subsequent unintended deployment. Additionally, some owners have reported random airbag deployments caused by problems with the airbag control module or wiring. Concerns have also arisen regarding Takata airbags, which have been linked to recalls due to safety risks. To mitigate these dangers, it is advised that owners conduct a diagnostic scan of the airbag control module to identify fault codes, inspect wiring for damage, and examine the clock spring for potential connection issues. Addressing these problems promptly is crucial to ensure the safety of all vehicle occupants.
