Front Air Bag Sensor Control Problems of Chrysler Pt Cruiser

Passenger airbag lite and sensor goes off with no one sitting in seat and if someone is in seat it goes off. It seams as if there is a short in a wire. Others I have read after have had this same problem.

My 2003 Chrysler Pt Cruiser, gt model, has had problems since I have had it. First, the engine light came on and they replaced a hose, then it came on again, and they said they didn't know what was wrong with, and they would have to wait until it went completely out. It did, at 28,000 miles, it was the turbo charger. Secondly, the airbag malfunctioned, they had to replace the seat, took three times to get the right seat. Third, now, I would put the car in drive or reverse, and it just sit there, then jerks into gear. Sometimes if you give it gas it would just rev up. They said it was the pump in the transmission, they took 4 plus days to replace it. When I picked it up I heard a noise and smell something burning. When I took it out there they didn't hear or smell anything so I was sent on my way. Then it started doing the same thing it did when you put it in reverse or drive. I took it in, he said it needed a battery. I put a diehard battery in it, but sears said that was not the problem. Then the check the engine light came on, they said it was the evac pump. They fixed that. They claimed that was not covered under the warranty I had when I brought it in two weeks before. Now, I hear a grinding when I start the car up, someone said it sounds like the flywheel and they didn't assemble the transmission correctly, and that was probably where the burning smell was coming from. I am taking it in to the shop today for this.

Contact stated the air bag warning light came on intermittently. Also, it made noise. The vehicle was taken to the dealership on numerous occasions. They were unable to duplicate the problem. The air bag module was replaced. Updated 01/11/06.

My airbag light has come on and the dealer says I need the entire module replaced. Vehicle has never been in an accident or bump of any kind. The module is not covered by the warranty. Why must the entire module be replaced. Isn't there a repair?.

After starting my engine, my airbag lite came on and never went off. Everytime I have started my car since, the light comes on and stays on until the engine is turned off.

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?.

While driving airbag warning light appeared on the dashboard intermittently.
