One month after purchasing the 2017 dodge journey the airbag light came on while driving the vehicle. Took the vehicle to a certified dodge dealer and they informed us that the airbag wireing harness located under the drivers front seat was faulty. The told us the airvagwireing harness is not covered under any warranty and that the new replacement airbag wireing harness would cost around $800. The airbag light still goes on & off randomly while the vehicle is being driven.
