Three problems related to front air bag have been reported for the 2001 Chrysler Sebring. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
2001 Chrysler Sebring lxi no horn, no cruise control, and air bag deactivated (light on) all three of these issues are due to a defective clock spring part# 4649092ac by Chrysler corp. They had this same issue with their late 90's to early 2000 Mini van's. This is a real threat to public safety, and there need to be action taken; do to the fact there are thousands of these clock springs (4649092ac) on the road. Do to the cost of this repair (check alldata auto repair guide), a lot of people will opt out of doing this repair.
The airbags in 2001 Chrysler Sebring did not deploy in a front impact crash* the consumer submitted a claim to the manufacturer, however it was denied. The manufacturers claimed, the impact didn't significantly involve the frame and it did not create the longitudinal (front to back) necessary to deploy the air bags. The conclusion was supported by the readings from the onboard computer that disclosed no codes-indicating that the airbag system was fully operational at the time of the accident.
Vehicle was involved in a frontal collision oat 40 mph and neither air bag deployed. Dealer and manufacturer were not notified at this time. Feel free to provide any further information.
