About a month ago, I was delivering for a pizza company on somewhat wet roads. The guy in front of me had non-functioning tail lights, so I did not see him breaking until it was too late. I hit my brakes and swerved to avoid him, went off the road down a 15-20 foot embankment, and hit a six to eight inch tree hard enough at 35 miles an hour to split it in half and have it fall on top of my car, and to bring me to a dead stop. Even with that force, the airbags did not go off. I had asked Chrysler to look into it, but after three weeks, they basically told me that I did not hit the brakes hard enough because the rate of deceleration necessary to activate them was not present. I cannot believe that this is the only reason, or even the actual reason, they did not go off.
Passenger air bag stays illuminated and rings every 5 seconds even when a passenger is there or not.

My husband was in his 2007 Chrysler Pt Cruiser and was involved in a head on collision, during that accident the ankle air bag deployed and busted his whole ankle out and joint and he had to have a bone graft done and is now still having problems, he has an external fixator on his leg and this has been almost three months after the accident, the cars damage was only to the hood the interior of the car was all still intact and was not at all pushed in, in any way.
Having issues with airbag/seatbelt light coming on & the dinging- pd. $98. 1st time, took back 2 more time, still not fixed, said warranty is up & does not cover electrical. . . They cannot find problem & seem not to be interested in trying. . Suggest I put new seatbelt in at my expense of $500. To me this is a driving hazard when u have this alarm going off every 20 sec, it can be a driving hazard. . . . 2007 Pt Cruiser - called Chrysler & they will not work with me on this, is getting very frustrating when u buy a new car & have these kinds of problems.

I had my 2007 Pt Cruiser for 6 months and the horn would stick and not turn off. The steering wheel and airbag were defective and replaced. My front brakes and rotors also had to be replaced at this time.
