2002 Chrysler PT Cruiser Air bags Problems

“I purchased my 2002 Pt Cruiser with only 34,000 miles on odometer in january of 2006. Within six (6) months, the airbag light came on for no reason. I paid $1,000.00 to have the airbag assembly replaced and once again within six months, the airbag light came on. I was told this time that it was the airbag sensors that needed to be replaced.”

“Takata recall this vehicle was involved in a t-bone accident in which drivers side back seat to rear hatch was t-boned. Both front airbags deployed at impact. The passenger side airbag was pristine white without any fray when deflated. The drivers side airbag was full of gun shot residue and bag frayed. The drivers seat belt was burned (belt was charred) onto drivers chest and there was an apparent puncture wound left of center chest and my significant other was deceased. This happened jan 27, 2019. I'm waiting on certified reports from la county coroner and chp. Due end march, early april.”

“Takata recall: I was driving north, turning right on a 20 MPH curve, when someone heading south, turned left on the curve, went over the line and hit me head on. When I came to, I heard myself screaming that I was on fire! ( but my car was not on fire.) then I didn't remember anything until I woke up in the hospital. I was covered in this hot powdery substance and I had burns where ever my skin was showing. I had cuts everywhere and dark marks in my skin for years. I had corneal scratches and irritated eyes too, along with dislocated jaw, seat belt injuries and a few other injuries. …”

“I was involved in a single car, front end collision, in which I hit a concrete structure head on at approx 45 MPH. The airbags, neither driver or passenger, deployed, resulting in my hitting my head. I feel this is a defect and surely a great enough force to deploy the airbags. Dealer says it was simply that the sensors were not triggered. What more does it take to trigger the sensors?”

“While sitting at a red light, I was rear-ended by a delaware cab (crown victoria); which continued to drive me into the car stopped in front of me and both of us into the pickup truck in front of her. It was a four car collision, with three of us being totally stopped when I was rear-ended. I contacted Chrysler and inquired as to why the air bags did not deploy and was told we need to offer you a settlement . …”
