Problems reside in the total integrated power management module. Tpim whereas vehicle will shut off while driving. No indicator lights to give warning before the vehicle shuts off. Has on occasion shut off and recovered power multiple times within a minute this is a very dangerous scenario to conduct a road test or have someone confirm the issue on the road.

Airbags light and ding sound that doesn't go off for driver and passenger. There's no protection for either side.

The airbag sign for passenger 2 turns on after a while of driving, speeding problem when when trying to accelerate the car takes forever to speed up.

Takata recall the car was in motion on the highway. An object was struck in the road and the airbag deployed only on the driver side of the vehicle.

-airbags lights are always on. -at times turning car off the fan will remain on till power drained. -while driving, all the lights on dash will turn on and car will shut down. This has happened countless times. After awhile the car will turn back on and be perfectly normal again to drive until this reoccurs.

At 10:15am on Thursday, 8/14/2014, the driver side front airbag spontaneously deployed while I was traveling <5mph pulling into a parking space. The vehicle has never been in any kind of accident nor has sustained any other damage, including from potholes (my family took original delivery of the vehicle in 2008). The local Chrysler dealership declined to look at the vehicle, and instead provided a phone number for the Chrysler customer assistance center (ccac). Thirty minutes later, the passenger side front airbag spontaneously deployed while I was traveling 35mph. Fortunately, I was able to maintain control of the vehicle and arrived home safely moments later. I immediately contacted the ccac; the representative forwarded my information to Chrysler's special investigations unit for further inquiry. The vehicle was inspected on Tuesday, 8/19/2014, at a Chrysler dealership by a third-party contracted by Chrysler. The investigator carefully documented the vehicle's condition, including putting it up on a lift, and took 40-50 images. Particular attention was paid to the airbag control module. The inspector found no damage and informed me it has been "beautifully maintained. " I received a letter dated 8/25/2014 from Chrysler stating, "we have had the opportunity to review the inspection report and must inform you that we are not led to believe that the incident was due to manufacturing responsibility. " my request for a copy of the inspection report was denied in a letter dated 9/12/14, claiming the report is "confidential" and "proprietary. " my second request to view the report was denied in a letter dated 10/13/14; I mailed a third request 11/10/14. The body shop manager of the Chrysler dealership and my insurance carrier both concur this was most likely due to manufacturing defect. While Chrysler stonewalls me, I am forced to drive a vehicle lacking functional airbags.

I had stopped at a ssignal light and was hit in an front /head on crash there was no air bag deployment - thecar was deemed as a total lost per my insurance the damage was front left finder - hood = bumper - grill left suspension parts radiator oil cooler and frame I feel that if the car is going to sustain that much damage the car would have deployed the air bags. I have seen cars that the airbags deployed when hit hard enough to scuff the front bumper also the horn would like to stick when depressed some time the horn would sound some time the horn would not make any sound till you beat the darn thing.

The contact owns a 2008 Chrysler pt cruise. The contact stated that when the horn was engaged, it remained activated and would independently disengage until much later. The dealer replaced the air bag horn assembly however the failure was not corrected. The failure was recurring. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not further repaired. The failure mileage was 36,000 and the current mileage was 52,000.

The contact owns a 2008 Chrysler Pt Cruiser touring. The contact stated while driving approximately 65 mph through fog, he crashed into the rear of an 18-wheeler. Upon impact the air bag underneath the dashboard deployed and fractured his leg. The steering wheel air bag also deployed and fractured his nose along with other facial injuries sustained. The police were called and a report was filed. The driver was transported to the hospital via ambulance with serious injuries. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic and was pending an investigation. The failure and current mileages were approximately 79,000. The VIN was unavailable.
