Five problems related to front air bag sensor control have been reported for the 2001 Chrysler Sebring. The most recently reported issues are listed below.

1 Front Air Bag Sensor Control problem

Failure Date: 06/25/2007

Clock spring broke rendering air bag, horn and cruise control functions inoperable. Vehicle has been taken in to dealer before for air bag warning light illumination and dealer said nothing was wrong. Took it to second service shop within a month and they stated it was a clock spring and that breakage on Chrysler vehicles was common. They were unable to repair so I have to return to the dealer. Air bag and horn would fail to operate in an accident.

2 Front Air Bag Sensor Control problem

Failure Date: 06/24/2005

December of 2002 - rear window defogger quit. Wire connector came loose from rear window. Could not be repaired. Window had to be replaced to fix problem. May of 2004 - air bag indicator came on and chime sounded. Sensor or some sort replaced at an expense of over $300. 00 June of 2005 - repeat or above problem. Appointment to bring car in for servicing on June 28th. June of 2005 - repeat of rear window defogger. Item has not worked for months. I have run a report on mycarstats. Com and have found both of these problems with other owners of this model. Appears we have a problem here. I should not have had to pay for the air bag problem the first time and I certainly shouldn't have to pay next week when I bring it in for servicing.
