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.
Airbag light continues to go on and off periodically. Which means it is activated and DE-activated.
This is the date of the last incident, but there have been at least 5 other incidents before this. I own a 2006 Chrysler Sebring convertible. My horn goes off for no reason, a long (about 30 seconds at a time) uninterrupted beep while I'm driving and also while the car is parked and off. This is a huge safety issue for me. I researched it on the internet and apparently a lot of people have this issue with 2005 and 2006 convertibles because of the way the airbag hits the horn. Because of this, the airbag light goes on and off constantly. Chrysler does not cover this defect, and it is a costly repair, from what I've heard. Not recalling this car part is causing hundreds of people to remove their horn fuse, which is a huge safety issue also.
Horn keeps going off by it self. Now I have no horn and the airbag light keeps coming on. I have checked other web sites and this is a well known issue with the Sebring why isn't this on recall? I have been cut off on several occasions where a horn was needed I came very close to be running off the road several times do to the other driver not looking in blind spots where as if I had a horn I could have used it instead of being ran off the road.
Defective horn assembly 2006 Chrysler Sebring touring convertible horn goes off intermittently (but not when I want it to) and remains on for 30-60 seconds. This is a much complained about problem for people with 2005 and 2006 Sebrings. All you have to do is google "2006 Sebring horn complaints" and you'll see the same exact complaint over and over and over again. And you'll also see that Chrysler has turned a deaf ear to the problem. This is esp. Dangerous because (according to others who've had this looked at) the airbag module is at fault, although the airbag light isn't on. Imagine how something like your horn suddenly going on and remaining on for that period of time might create dangerous conditions to the drivers and pedestrians.
