4 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 04/02/2019

Horn stared going off on its own, while driving or just sitting, then the transmission started lagging, rpms drop while I'm driving and am unable to get back up to speed for a minute. I drive on the interstate daily for work and both of these are a huge hazard for me and other drivers. I assume the problems are related being as they both went crazy at the same time. While driving on the interstate to work my car just sort of died without dieing the rpms dropped and the car tried to die but diidnt. The gas ped stopped working while this was occuring and I was unable to get back up to speed. It eventually kicked out of it but did it again the following week, driving out of my parking lot at work rpms dropped and was unable to use my gas ped. I gotit again to get out of it but all its going to take is this happening and a car behind me and and accident will happen.

6 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 04/17/2016

Takata recall. During the course of a year since I've purchased this car, I have experienced issues with what I believe to be power steering. Twice while coming to a stop (stop sign or light), my steering would lock along with my brakes. When I took it to a shop I was told my thermostat needed replaced. I told them to fix the issue. On April 17th while driving home from work a little after midnight this same issue occurred only while I was still driving. I was able to force my wheel to turn enough to drive up the bend I was driving around rather than the school in front of me. Finally I hit a pole and my car has been ruled as a total loss. I have many concerns in regards to what actually happened and why.

10 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 08/01/2010

I own a 2008 Chrysler Sebring touring convertible and 1 week after buying this vehicle in April 2009, the fabric on the driver side seat "busted" open. The seats have a zipper up the back of them that are designed to bust open when the airbags deploy. The dealer fixed this at this time for no cost. Now, the passenger seat has done the same thing. My air bag default light continues to state a malfunction and it was at this time that I noticed the fabric has busted open on the passenger seat indicating another malfunction with the air bag within that seat. I am concerned there is a safety concern with the airbags in my car and am concerned they are not working/will not work if needed. I would greatly appreciate any help with this potential safety risk. Thank you.
