Possible airbag or electrical defect on 2002 Pt Cruiser touring edition. I was driving up the road in my 2002 cruiser with approximately 40,000 miles on it, which has not been involved in an accident, and the airbag light came on my dash. I have had my car in the shop several times and after approximately $800. 00, my light is still on. The airbag assembly and airbag module have been replaced and it has not remedied the problem.
I was involved in a single car, front end collision, in which I hit a concrete structure head on at approx 45 mph. The airbags, neither driver or passenger, deployed, resulting in my hitting my head. I feel this is a defect and surely a great enough force to deploy the airbags. Dealer says it was simply that the sensors were not triggered. What more does it take to trigger the sensors?.
