“The airbag light has come on while driving many times over the past two years. I have taken the car to the dealer several times. Each time the dealer stated that there wasn't a code stored and that they could not get the airbag light to come on. Finally, in late june of this year the light came on and stayed on, I took the carn to the dealer and they said the seat belt tensioner needed to be replaced. When I picked up the car after having the seat belt tensioner replaced the light wa off. Now, less than a month later the airbag light is on again. …”
NHTSA complaint #10129773, filed 2005-07, 10,000 miles“The clockspring that controls the airbag inside the steering column of the 2003 Chrysler sebring broke in cold weather, rendering the airbag inoperable. Identical problems in earlier Chrysler models prompted recalls of this part, but Chrysler has not reacted to the same potential deadly problem for this model year vehicle.”
