I am not reporting an accident ... Yet. I was driving on residential street about 35 MPH when the "airbag warning light" came on. Thereafter it came on each time I started my car and started to drive. Contacted nearest dealer and was told that my vehicle was not apart of the recall ( 09v118000), although the recall named 2009 dodge journeys. They wanted me to pay to have it checked! I then called chrysler corp and spoke with a rep who also stated that my vehicle was not apart of the recall.
