| Seat Belt problems |
This is part of complaint 11630942. The incident on Nov 25, 2024. These are two separate complaints which occurred in the same crash that resulted in serious injuries. In the event of the crash the seatbelt failed to restrain me. Allowing my head to collide into the windshield and my chest to forcefully hit the steering wheel. I have serious injuries to many body parts as result of this incident. The vehicle is available for inspection and I have photos and medical reports available upon request.
Drivers side seat belt does not retract. Engine piston rod bearings are defective heat up melt and may cause an engine fire like in Hyundai rod bearing recall. Common on Chrysler v6 engine. May cause blown engine, snapped piston rods, heat and engine fire.
Seatbelt drivers side doesn't retract. Like 2007 the car randomly stalls while driving. In motion. Both are huge safety issues.
Front driver seat belt does not retract. Very dangerous.
Possible takata recall!!! while coming down and around a corner on a highway there was a car turning and I did not have enough times to stop. Which caused me to rearend the other vehicle. It was a beautiful day so we had my 2006 Chrysler Sebring convertible top down. I was driving while my 15 year old daughter was in the front passenger seat. My12 year old daughter directly behind her and my 7 year old niece behind me. The front air bags deployed. My 15 year old whom was wearing her seatbelt was thrown forward due to her seatbelt locking mechanism not locking. Thankfully the seatbelt eventually caught her by the right thigh saving her from being ejected from the vehicle. She substained what could have easily been a life threatening laceration to left side (but more towards the middle) of her foreheard directly above her left eyebrow. The laceration was 8cm, the shape of a cross, and it was 3 layers deep. My younger daughter whom was directly behind her had a patch of skin on top of her left foot that was cut off. We are in the process of getting someone to come and take a look at the vehicle before the insurance company gets rid of it in the next week. We are not sure if my 15 year old daughter's head was cut from airbag shrapnel flying out since the size, shape, and location of the laseration is the same size, shape and location on one of the bigger trakata air bag injuries that is out there publicly. Or if her injury was due to her hitting her head on something due to the fact that her seatbelt locking mechanism was not working. Either way this needs to be looked into before someone else is injured or worse yet killed. . . Please look into this. . . * the passenger airbag light would go on every once and awhile but would then go off when you moved the passenger chair back or forth. The same problem the 2010 Chrysler Sebring convertibles are just now recalling.
In March or so of 2011, while driving, all of a sudden my horn just goes off for no reason whatsover and would not stop. I took it to a local mechanic and was informed that its a factory problem with the clockspring. This part however is attached to the air bag assembly & to replace it, the entire air bag assembly must be also replaced which is over $600 just for the part & another $1000 for labor. My only option was to completely disconnect the air bag assembly as its the only way to stop the horn. So now I have to drive the car without the air bag system. This is a direct safety defect!! I spoke with a Chrysler rep & they informed me that they had never heard of this problem with that years model, even though there are sooo many complaints online all over the USA about it. . . How can this not be a safety recall??? I will never buy another Chrysler!!.
