I have owned 2 2004 Chrysler Sebring convt and both have had problems with the air bag light coming on. On vehicle #1 the seat belt tensioners were replaced on the front seats twice. I was in a collision in that car and it was a forceful front impact and the air bags did not deploy. Now I have had the second car for almost 6 months and the air bag light has already come on. I got upset and pulled the fuses out of the fuse box hoping the light on the dash would go off until I could get it to the repair shop on Monday. When the fuses were replaced the repair shop told me all info was erased and when the light came back on to bring it back in.

: the contact stated while driving 45mph a deer and telephone pole were struck with the front end of the vehicle. The frontal air bags did not deploy during the accident however, an hour later both frontal air bags deployed. The contact was not the driver of the vehicle therefore, it is uncertain if there was pre-impact braking. The driver of the vehicle was wearing a seat belt and no injuries were sustained. The air bag warning light did not illuminate. As a result of the accident the vehicle caught fire and the check engine light illuminated. The vehicle has not been inspected by the dealership. The insurance company has the vehicle performing an investigation. The police were alerted and a report was filed at the scene. The vehicle is a 2002 Chrysler Sebring lxi.
