The contact owns a 2006 Chrysler Pt Cruiser. When the contact removed the center control, he noticed that the air bag module was inserted backwards. He took the vehicle to the dealer and they stated that the air bag module was labeled incorrectly, but was inserted properly in the vehicle. The manufacturer refused to acknowledge that there may be a potential defective. They also refused to write a certified letter stating that the air bag system would function properly in the event of a crash. As of August 13, 2008, the dealer has possession of the vehicle. The VIN was unavailable. The failure and current mileages were 34,500.

Air bags in a 2006 Chrysler Pt Cruiser did not deploy in a substantial accident. Second vehicle I have owned that bags did not deploy. Believe they were engineered for only severe accidents intentionally, seems to be a lot of them around. Chrysler refuses to replace the air bags.
For the past tw-three months, either it has stalled in the garage or on a busy thoroughfare. The authorized dealer has replaced transmission, I've had an oil change, we've had rental cars, tow trucks, I've missed church, flight connections, valuable time away from work-fifth time reporting-dealer has done everything-this car is going to be the death of me-it has toxic fumes-and is literally havine me to take it to the dealer and leaving it on the property. How do we contact the president, transmission has been replaced, it has had an oil change, the dealers can't find out what's wrong with it-and I'm ready to turn it in-it has cost me lost wages, time away from events in which I was to speak, and most of all, my sanity. How does one contact dr. Dr. Dieter zetsche, the president? there is no e-mail address. Was there a fire? not yet, but there might be a loss of life if it continues to stall on these busy thoroughfares-it makes no sense.

Horn and radio stopped working. . . I replaced the clock spring. . . And it started all over again after about a month. I have had to replace a radio and speakers because of the intermittent problem. It causes my radio display to "pop" in and out and when it goes out I have no horn. The problem started about a year after I bought the car in 03.
On the 28th of Nov 2002 my wife was involved in an accident. She rearended a pickup truck and it was around 45mph. When she struck the vehicle her airbags never went off. Now she hit the vehicle straight on and if I'm right anything above 25 or more the airbags should deploy. Luckly my wife wasn't injured but she could have been badly injured. I called the company and all they told me was that we should have called then immediately but when something like this happens you don't think about it. I wanted to file a complaint on the defect airbags. The vehicle was repaired and Chrysler said the should 've been notified so they could inspect the vehicle but the insurance company took the vehicle to the body shop right away and they started to repair it while my wife was at work. There was $5,400 in damage to the front end, basically it was completely replaced but the airbags never went off is what has me stumped. It's a 2002 Pt Cruiser.
Horn and airbag won't work, "airbag" light on dash is constantly on.
