Front Air Bag problems of the 2005 Chrysler Sebring

Horn will start working on it's on and will not stop until fuse burns out. The only way to fix this is by replacing the driver airbag since the horn pad is inside the airbag assy. Needless to say, a vehicle without an horn will not pass inspection and since this is the only way a driver has to communicate with the surrounding drivers in case they get too close or to warn them of a danger a head, this most certainly is a safety issue. By Chrysler avoiding their responsibility for this bad design, there are a lot of people out there who are driving Sebrings with no horns (since they can not afford $800 for a new airbag, which by the way is going to be no more then a temporary solution since no change in the design have been made). That posses as much as a threat on all of us who share the road with them as it does on those Sebrings owners. . . I have to admit I'm skeptical about NHTSA making sure Chrysler make things right, but at least I'll give it a try. To see how big of a problem this is I suggest you google "Chrysler Sebring horn fix". Thank you. P. S there was no incident just yet, but I had to choose a dat of the "* approximate incident date:" or it will not let me go to the next page.

The seatbelt restraint carriage failed and has to be replaced.

This complaint is on behalf of my father. Robert mulcahy sr. He owns a 2005 Chrysler Sebring (touring) auto. I don't have the VIN number, but could get it. He was just involved in an accident that had him impacting another vehicle with the front of his car at or around 35-40 mph. We both find it incredible that neither air bags deployed. Does this sound like a normal operation of safety equipment? this accident happened in oak lawn, IL. , on the 9th of August, 2007.

: the contact stated while driving 60 mph the left front wheel fractured and broke away from the vehicle. It crashed into a guard rail and proceeded to travel over the guard rail. Neither of the front airbags deployed. The fuel tank was punctured during the process ,and the vehicle erupted in flames. It became fully engulfed in flames and burned to the ground. The fire department and the state police were at the scene of the accident and provided written reports. The vehicle was inspected by the insurance company and was deemed totaled.

Driving a 2005 Chrysler Sebring, started to rain and skidded sideways into a curb. The air bags deployed and smoke started to billow from the steering wheel area. The other bag broke the windshield. I turned off the ignition and got out of the car. I suffered minor injuries and was taken to the hospital. Upon release from the hospital I went to put on my coat and discovered that it was me that had been on fire. 1/3 of the sleeve had been burned by the exploding air bag. If I had been unconscious or it was summer I could have suffered from smoke inhalation or burned at least my arm. Something should be done about the sparks and possible explosion that the air bags set off.
