“The drivers side airbag light had come on and when I brought it to the dealer they informed me that indeed the airbag was not communicating with the rear bumper and I would have to pay four hundred dollars for a new sensor.

“On 12/6/10, I was in my 2007 Pt Cruiser when I was involved in an accident. I was proceeding straight thru an intersection when a 1993 nissan altima turned left in front of me (was coming form direction opposite me), striking me dead center of my front bumper.

“We own a 2007 Pt Cruiser, a 2007. This is the second Pt Cruiser that we have bought. My husband and his friend, who was driving at the time, had an accident on january 21, 2009.

This is the second time that this same thing has happened to us in a wreck with our pt cruisers. …”

“I was in a car in september of 2007. I was driving a 2007 Pt Cruiser. I rearend a truck infront of me doing approximately 30-35mph. My safety belt didn't lock and my air bags did not deploy. Needless to say my head hit full force into the steering wheel. Road conditions where dry. It was just stop & go traffic bumper to bumper. I just didn't react fast enough. I was told that the sensor for the air bag was located in the center of interior dash console.”
