11 Air Bag Light On problem

Failure Date: 03/09/2015

While driving on a highway at high-speed, all the electrical instruments began flashing on/off. The airbag light began flashing and a chime could be heard. This occurs intermittently (3-5 times per year) and Chrysler cannot properly diagnose the problem. With this latest incident, the dealership told me it would cost $800 for a new power control module. I researched online only to learn there are thousands of people with identical complaints about their Chrysler vehicles, while NHTSA refuses to order a recall. I refuse to allow Chrysler to perform work on this vehicle unless they can guarantee the repair and cap the cost. I purchased this vehicle new and Chrysler failed to disclose two auto body repairs performed prior to sale - I discovered this on the Chrysler website and since spent over $1,500 to repair it because Chrysler refused to accept any responsibility after the lemon laws expired.

13 Air Bag Light On problem

Failure Date: 05/30/2013

My airbag light came on and the dealer wants $550 to fix it. I think it is a safety issue and should not be so expensive to fix. I am now driving with no airbag due to a bad clockspring in the stteering wheel. On my 1996 it was a recall and the dealer had to fix it for free, why don't they do it on this newer model. The cost is way too high for the part and amount of time it would take them to replace it.

14 Air Bag Light On problem

Failure Date: 02/28/2013

Front driver seat started feeling loose, airbag light came on, low tire light came on and check oil light would come on every time car is started. A few days later the car didn't feel right and started making a loud knocking noise, took it to the mechanic and found out that tensioner belt became loose causing damage to the car. I had to get a new alternator, tensioner & pull, and transmission flushed/serviced as well as the power steering. Not very happy with this 2008 Sebring!!!!!.

15 Air Bag Light On problem

Failure Date: 05/01/2012

While driving on a highway at high-speed, all the electrical instruments began flashing on/off. The airbag light began flashing and a chime could be heard. This occurs intermittently (3-5 times per year) and Chrysler cannot properly diagnose the problem. This seems to happen most frequently while driving on the interstate while raining with the windshield wipers on high. On one occasion while travelling through the mountains of western pennsylvania on the turnpike at night in the rain the entire car went dark for about 10 seconds. It appeared that the system rebooted. Original owner.
